Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou, speaking to Sky Sports: "It was a tough game. Credit to Coventry, I thought they were outstanding. They really took it to us. "We had to hang in there somehow and we did. In the end, credit to the lads. It was a typical cup tie."

There was bad news for Tottenham, despite their Carabao Cup win over Coventry on Wednesday night, as Wilson Odobert suffered a ‘fairly significant’ injury. It was a dramatic night at the Coventry Building Society Arena as the Championship side had the lead with just a few minutes to play as they looked to cause an upset.

Ange Postecoglou says ‘spirit and character’ got Tottenham past Coventry - Spurs were minutes away from a second consecutive early Carabao Cup exit under Postecoglou.
