In a tense League Cup match, Brennan Johnson clinched a stoppage-time winner, keeping Tottenham's cup hopes alive against second-tier Coventry City. Coventry was leading 1-0 at the 87-minute mark, and looking dominant, before Djed Spence equalized for Tottenham.
Johnson, replacing the injured Wilson Odobert in the 17th minute, scored five minutes later to seal a dramatic 2-1 win. The result was a significant relief for manager Ange Postecoglou, who had previously claimed he always won a trophy in his second season at any club.
Elsewhere, Brighton & Hove Albion edged out Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-2 in another gripping third-round fixture. The remaining matches, including Liverpool vs. West Ham United, will be played next week.
