Late goals from Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson secured Tottenham an undeserved 2-1 victory at Coventry in the League Cup third-round.

It appeared Brandon Thomas Asante's second-half strike would add more misery to Spurs' start to the season when he gave the Sky Blues the lead their play warrented.

In the final ten minutes Spurs desperately looked for an equaliser and it finally came when Dejan Kulusevski's through-ball was poked home by Spence two minutes from time.

Then two minutes into injury time former Coventry man James Maddison's fine through-ball was classily clipped home by Brennan Johnson.

Ange Postecoglou reminded reporters that he always wins a trophy in his second season last week and now their fans will wonder if this late escape will be the precursor to them winning this Cup as they did, the last time they lifted silverware, in 2008.

HE WOULD HAVE BEEN OFFSIDE...

But if it wasn't...and Mason-Clark had scored...it would have been a great goal from Coventry as Rudoni crossed for Simms who nodded down for his fellow subsitute who just nudged wide from an offside position.
