The absolute state of this ailing thing of ours. Why can’t people just be alright?

“How many teams manage to double both their points and goals scored in a single day in mid-October?” wonders Phil Moseley.

Yup, and Spurs have some winnable games coming up too. Chelsea away this weekend will be tricky but then comes Palace home, Leeds away, Ipswich home, Sunderland away, Fulham home. We’ll have a decent idea of the kind of season they’ll have at the end of that run.

FULL TIME: Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Coventry City

A terrific night for Spurs, Maddison making a scoring return, Kulusevski also coming back, and a first league win of the season. They didn’t play especially well but they’ll be better for this, while Coventry again showed enough to suggest they’ve a chance of staying up.

GOAL! Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Coventry City (Davies 90+6)

After 148 days, Tottenham are going to win a league game! Tel does well to take time out of the game and, when his cross is cleared to the edge, an important touch from Solanke allows Davis to swipe a low trivela that arcs just inside the near post. Relief inside the ground!

That is good information, thanks – though would one not use Fizzers to get the same effect and a bit more action?

ANOTHER LOVELY GOAL! Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Coventry City (Marmoush 59)

Marmoush spins Van Ewijk, introducing elbow to nose in the process, feints the shot then, stepping inside, punches a curler from 20 yards that Rushworth gets hands to but can’t keep out. That’s his first goal for Spurs, but will VAR disallow it?
