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.

FULL TIME

You have to feel for Coventry. Just like in the FA Cup semi-final last season they played so well but end up losing out to Premier League opposition.

90+2'

GOAL! COVENTRY 1-2 TOTTENHAM (JOHNSON)

Incredibly Spurs clinch the game in injury time. And it was an uncharacteristically cool finish from the former Forest man dinking over the goalkeeper after latching onto Maddison's fine through ball.

MADDISON GOES INTO THE BOOK

Too much back chat to the referee.

88'

GOAL! COVENTRY 1-1 TOTTENHAM (SPENCE)

A fine through-ball from Kulusevski, after receiving an around-the-corner pass from Maddison, and Spence drives forward to poke past Wilson to level the scores.

KULUSEVSKI PULLS BACK INTO THE DANGER AREA

But it is behind his Spurs team mates and Coventry clear.

80'

Kulusevski rifled an effort from eight yards out after Spence pulled back to him but from point-blank range Wilson pushed the ball clear.

SIMMS' EFFORT IS DEFLECTED WIDE...

And almost lands perfectly on the outstretched leg of Mason-Clark at the back post, but he just toes it off target.

78'

RUDONI IS REPLACED BY TORP

He has put in a great performancew Rudoni.

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.

74'

WERNER REPLACED BY KULUSEVSKI

Werner injured himself closing down a cross. The introduction of the Swede should make them more potent though.

70'

TRIPLE CHANGE FOR COVENTRY

Bassette is replaced by Ellis-Simms. Skipper Eccles and Wright come off for Mason-Clark and Sheaf.

MADDISON WEAVES THROUGH A FEW CHALLENGES IN THE AREA

But his effoer is deflected and Wilson comes out to claim.

DRAGUSIN PLAYS HIMSELF INTO TROUBLE

And Rudoni takes the ball off him before winning a corner and geeing up the crowd.

63'

GOAL! COVENTRY (ASANTE) 1-0 TOTTENHAM

Coventry are in front and it is the least they deserve. A fine move sees Bassette play a superb low cross from the left wing which Asante sidefoots first time inside the near post.

Goal

B. Thomas-Asante

Coventry City

62'

DOUBLE SUBSTITUTION FOR SPURS

The big boys are on. Son replaces Solanke and Maddison comes on for Bergvall - and gets a good reception.

Davies meets Bergvall's corner with a bullet header but the Coventry keeper dives to his left and pushed away.

He plays a one-two with Rudoni and then shoots just over the bar.

DAVIES WITH A GOAL SAVING CLEARANCE

Forster came out of his goal to meet a long ball from the opposite goalkeeper but Dragusin headed beyond him before clattering into his own keeper before Wright thought he was hitting into an open goal but Davies slid in to block the effort.
