Spurs very nearly lost their League Cup tie at Coventry. They arguably deserved to lose it. Could their late victory spark a revival?

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou is facing ‘testing times’ after a challenging start to the season, with the initial positive spirit that marked the Greek-Australian tactician’s early days at the club now seemingly diminished, according to Daily Mirror journalist John Cross.

Ange Postecoglou has defended his decision to substitute Lucas Bergvall and make several changes to his Tottenham side for their last-gasp victory over Coventry City in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening. Spurs looked to be on the receiving end of an upset as Brandon Thomas-Asante put Coventry ahead in the second half.
