Tottenham Hotspur narrowly avoided a shocking exit from the Carabao Cup, overcoming Championship side Coventry City with late goals from Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson to win 2-1. Coventry took the lead in the 63rd minute through Brandon Thomas-Asante, dominating much of the match and threatening to upset their higher-ranked opponents. After a disappointing first half, Tottenham's manager Ange Postecoglou made strategic substitutions, which ultimately paid off as Spence equalized in the 88th minute and Johnson netted the winner in stoppage time. Meanwhile, Brighton and Hove Albion also progressed by defeating Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-2, with standout performances from Carlos Baleba and Simon Adingra. The results underscore Tottenham's resilience, particularly after a recent North London derby defeat, as they aim for silverware in Postecoglou's second season. Both teams now look ahead to the next rounds of the competition, hoping to build on their performances.
