However, Tottenham equalized in the closing moments through Djed Spence, who found the net in the 88th minute. Brennan Johnson then sealed the victory for Spurs with a goal in the second minute of stoppage time.
Coventry, who narrowly missed out on upsetting Manchester United in last season’s FA Cup semifinal, faced another disappointment against a Premier League team despite a commendable performance.
