Key Moments

The Yirenkyi booking after 20 minutes, followed almost immediately by Solanke's, put a player from each side on a warning with more than an hour still to play. That mattered because it raised the cost of every later challenge, yet nobody was sent off. Dasilva's caution at the interval left Coventry to play a full second half with two players already booked, a restriction that sits next to their single shot on target. Rudoni's yellow just after the hour completed a three-to-one card count against the visitors and reduced how freely they could contest the ball. Coventry's solitary effort on target, against five from Tottenham, is the recorded gap that best fits a 3-1 score when several other lines were level.

Match Statistics

Tottenham outshot Coventry 16 to 12 and put five attempts on target to one. Expected goals told a flatter story, with both teams at 0.82, so the 3-1 result ran well ahead of chance quality on the recorded numbers. Corners were even at four apiece, another line that did not hint at a two-goal gap. Tottenham collected one yellow card and Coventry three, with no reds shown on either side.
