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.
