Tottenham managed to secure a victory in the third round of the English League Cup against Coventry, winning 2-1 with two late goals. Coventry had taken the lead with a goal from Brandon Thomas-Asante in the 63rd minute, but Djed Spence equalized in the 88th minute, and Brennan Johnson scored the winner in stoppage time.
