Tottenham 3-1 Coventry City: Maddison, Marmoush and Davies snap winless run
Tottenham Hotspur defeated Coventry City 3-1, marking their first win of the Premier League season. The match featured goals from James Maddison, Omar Marmoush, and Ben Davies, ending a winless streak.
Why it matters
The victory provides relief for the club and its supporters after a difficult start to the competitive season.
Tottenham finally ended their wait for a Premier League win this season, as they beat Coventry City 3-1 on Monday. Omar Marmoush scored his first goal for Tottenham as Roberto De Zerbi's men battled to a 3-1 win over Coventry City.
Spurs had gone winless in their first six Premier League matches this term, and another failure to take all three points on Monday would have seen them draw to within one game of matching their longest winless start to a season in the competition.
Yet Marmoush's superb finish and Ben Davies' stoppage-time effort saw Spurs get over the line at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
James Maddison, making his first competitive start for Spurs since May 2025, opened the scoring in the 14th minute.
The former Coventry playmaker met Mohammed Kudus' cutback on the cusp of the visitors' area and bent a sensational strike into the top-left corner.
