Tottenham Hotspur narrowly avoided a shocking defeat in the Carabao Cup by scoring two late goals to beat Coventry City 2-1. Coventry initially led 1-0 with a goal from Brandon Thomas-Asante in the 63rd minute. However, substitutes Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson scored in the 88th and stoppage time respectively to secure the win for Spurs. Manager Ange Postecoglou faced criticism for making numerous changes and for his bold claims about winning a trophy in his second season, but the dramatic comeback provided some relief. In another match, Brighton defeated Wolverhampton 3-2, continuing Wolves' poor start to the season.
