Tottenham Hotspur recorded their first Premier League win of the season by defeating Coventry City 3-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, moving out of the bottom three. James Maddison opened the scoring with a 25-yard bending shot in the first half, marking his first start in 536 days. Coventry equalized early in the second half when Jack Rudoni scored past goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky following a counterattack. Tottenham regained the lead in the 59th minute through Omar Marmoush, who scored his first goal since joining on loan from Manchester City amid visitor complaints regarding an incident involving Milan van Ewijk. Ben Davies secured the victory by drilling in a third goal from just outside the area during stoppage time. The match also featured Dejan Kulusevski making his first appearance for Tottenham as a substitute after more than a season sidelined with a knee injury.
