Spence And Johnson Rescue Tottenham Late To Deny Coventry In Carabao Cup

Spence and Johnson fire Tottenham into last 16 of Carabao Cup

Stunning come-from-behind win keeps Spurs' hopes alive

Late goals from Djed Spence and Cameron Carter-Vickers secure dramatic victory

Tottenham Hotspur produced a stunning late comeback to beat Coventry City 2-1 in the Carabao Cup fourth round on Wednesday night. Trailing to Viktor Gyökeres' opener, Spurs looked set to be dumped out of the competition but two goals in the final 10 minutes from summer signing Spence and defender Carter-Vickers sent the home fans into raptures. The win sets up a mouthwatering clash with bitter rivals Arsenal in the quarter-finals. Here's how the action unfolded at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: ## Coventry stun Spurs with early goal The visitors took a shock lead after just eight minutes when Gyökeres latched onto a long ball over the top, rounded goalkeeper Fraser Forster and slotted home. The goal stunned the home crowd and gave Coventry a deserved lead, having started the game brightly and causing Spurs problems with their high-energy pressing. ## Spurs dominate possession but struggle to create The hosts responded by dominating possession but struggled to create clear-cut chances, with Coventry defending resolutely and limiting them to long-range efforts. Harry Kane had a couple of half-chances but was well marshalled by the Coventry defence, while Richarlison also struggled to make an impact. ## Spence and Johnson rescue Spurs With time running out, Tottenham finally found their breakthrough when Spence fired home from close range after a scramble in the box. The goal lifted the home crowd and gave Spurs hope of a comeback, and they completed the turnaround just four minutes later when Carter-Vickers headed home from a corner. It was a dramatic end to the game and a much-needed win for Spurs, who have endured a difficult start to the season. ## What's next? Tottenham will now host Arsenal in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on December 20. They will also be back in Premier League action on Sunday when they travel to Aston Villa.
