Johnson’s stoppage time winner against Coventry is all down to Bentancur

September 18, 2024Ligue 1

Tottenham staged a late comeback to beat Coventry and advance to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

Spurs have endured a difficult start to the season and have just four points from their first four games following defeat to Arsenal in last weekend’s north London derby.

The Carabao Cup represents as good a chance as any for Spurs to end their long wait for a trophy and for so long they were staring down the barrel of an embarrassing exit.

Brandon Thomas-Asante put Coventry ahead just after the hour mark, before Djed Spence equalised in the 88th minute and Brennan Johnson secured the win in the 92nd minute.

It was a nice first time finish but the goal doesn’t happen without the brilliant work from Rodrigo Bentancur who won he ball back in midfield before playing a brilliant pass through to Johnson who applied the first time finish.

Next up for Tottenham is a home game against Brentford on Saturday afternoon as Ange Postecoglou looks for his second league win of the season.
