James Maddison opened the scoring for the Spurs in the 14th minute, returning to the starting lineup for the first time since May 2025, capitalizing on a pass from Ghanaian Mohamed Kudus.
With the start of the second half, Coventry equalized in the 49th minute through Jack Rudoni, who tapped the ball in from close range, resetting the match.
However, the London response did not take long, as Egyptian Omar Marmoush restored Tottenham's lead in the 58th minute with a powerful shot from outside the penalty area, scoring his first goal for the team since joining from Manchester City.
Kolosivsky's Return
The final minutes saw the return of Swede Dejan Kolosivsky to the pitch after an injury absence exceeding 17 months, coming on as a substitute in the 87th minute to great fan applause.
In stoppage time, Ben Davies extended the home side's lead by scoring the third goal in the 90+6th minute, securing a valuable victory that ended a winless streak of six matches.
