Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham will have to wait until Wednesday evening to discover their opponents in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. Spurs are in the hat for next week's draw after staging a late comeback at Coventry City after initially looking set to exit the competition at the first time of asking.
Djed Spence's 88th-minute equaliser gave the visitors some late hope, with Brennan Johnson then completing the turnaround for Spurs two minutes into stoppage time. The Lilywhites delivered an extremely underwhelming performance at the CBS Arena but they somehow found a way to grind out a win to keep their silverware ambitions alive.
Apart from the vital contributions of Spence and Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski also proved to be a pivotal figure in the match after helping Tottenham turn things around following his late introduction. Another positive to come from the game was Lucas Bergvall in his first Tottenham start.
The Sweden international was undoubtedly the best performer out of the team's starting midfielders as he always looked to get on the ball and try and make things happen. Pape Matar Sarr, on the other hand, unfortunately had a night to forget.
Such a key influence in Postecoglou's team during the first few months of his tenure, the Senegal international's form has dipped in 2024 and now the head coach has a task on his hands trying to get the youngster back to his previous levels. The form of Kulusevski in midfield doesn't exactly help Sarr's cause, though, as there are now limited available positions in the midfield trio with Spurs' No.21 currently an undroppable.
On the latest episode of their Gold & Guest Talk Tottenham podcast, Spurs reporters Alasdair Gold and Rob Guest reflect on the Coventry game and also the importance of finding a way to win after such a mixed start to the term so far. Saturday's home game against Brentford is also a big talking point, especially with Spurs not only having to secure three points but also produce an eye-catching performance.
