Late goals by Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson helped Tottenham escape a big shock at Coventry in the Carabao Cup.
Spurs were on the verge of adding to Sunday’s tough loss to Arsenal with a 1-0 defeat in the third round after Brandon Thomas-Asante put the Championship side ahead deservedly after 63 minutes.
A few moments before, Ange Postecoglou’s choice to take off Lucas Bergvall was not well received by the away fans.
But as time was running out and Postecoglou’s confident statement from last weekend that he would always win trophies in his second season seemed like it might not come true, Djed Spence scored an equalizer with three minutes remaining.
The possibility of a penalty shootout was still looming until Rodrigo Bentancur passed the ball to Brennan Johnson, who skillfully scored in the 92nd minute to secure Tottenham a valuable 2-1 victory and have their traveling fans celebrating the team's success.
