Spence and Johnson rescue Tottenham late to deny Coventry in Carabao Cup
Substitutes Brennan Johnson and Djed Spence scored in the final two minutes of this exhilarating Carabao Cup tie to enable Tottenham Hotspur to recover from Brandon Thomas-Asante’s deserved goal for Coventry City to sneak through to the fourth round. At least that is one route to a trophy salvaged for Ange Postecoglou.
Penalties did for Mark Robins’s team when they lost the Championship playoff final to Luton Town 16 months ago and the FA Cup semi-final to Manchester United last season and they looked set for another trial from 12 yards until Spence, sent in by Dejan Kulusevski, stabbed home from close range.
