Johnson’s injury-time winning goal against Coventry is all down to Bentancur

Tottenham made a late comeback to beat Coventry and reach the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

Tottenham Hotspur have endured a difficult start to the season, taking just four points from their opening four games after losing to Arsenal in the North London derby last week.

The Carabao Cup is a great opportunity for Tottenham Hotspur to end their long wait for a trophy. They have waited so long only to be eliminated in shame.

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 fine first-time finish, but the goal would not have come without a brilliant display of determination from Rodrigo Bentancur. The 27-year-old won the ball back in midfield before playing a brilliant pass to Johnson to apply a neat finish and secure passage to the next round of the competition.

Tottenham play a home game against Brentford on Saturday afternoon, with Ange Postecoglou hoping for his second league win of the season.
