Match Reports & Highlights: Coventry 1-2 Tottenham: Two late goals fires Spurs through Carabao Cup next round. Tottenham Hotspur needed two late goals to prevent in what would have been an embarrassing defeat at the hands of Coventry City, in the Carabao Cup third round on Wednesday night.

A resilient Coventry looked set to pull off a giant-killing upset, thanks to a Brandon Thomas-Asante’s second half strike. But Tottenham’s Djed Spence finally got Spurs back on level terms with a few minutes left to play, before Brennan Johnson’s calm and collected finish in stoppage time, sealed the comeback for the North London side.

The Carabao Cup arguably represents Ange Postecoglou’s best chance of continuing his record of always winning a trophy in his second season at a club, and pre-game focus was on the Spurs boss in the wake of pointing out that record following Sunday’s north London derby defeat.

Postecoglou made eight changes to his lineup for this one, with only Dominic Solanke, Rodrigo Bentancur and Destiny Udogie retained in a heavily rotated side that featured three teenagers and three other outfield starters aged 23 or younger.
