Tottenham Hotspur finally ended their frustrating run of poor results by securing their first win of the Premier League season with a 3-1 victory over Coventry City. The clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium also marked the long-awaited return of Dejan Kulusevski following his injury lay-off.

James Maddison stole the spotlight with a superb goal in his first start for an extended period, but Coventry hit back to level the score early in the second half, threatening to spoil the hosts’ celebrations. However, Omar Marmoush broke the deadlock with his maiden goal for Tottenham before Ben Davies sealed the victory with a clinical finish in stoppage time, sparking relief among the home supporters.
