COVENTRY City saw their two-match winning run in the Premier League come to an end following a 3-1 defeat at bottom side Tottenham Hotspur.

The Sky Blues drew level early in the second half through Jack Rudoni after James Maddison’s stunner put Spurs ahead on Coventry’s first-ever visit to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

However, Omar Marmoush restored Tottenham’s lead before Ben Davies scored an injury-time goal to settle the game and earn Spurs a first league win of the season.

The result means Coventry sit 17th in the Premier League table, one point clear of the relegation zone after seven matches.

Frank Lampard’s side went close early on after Tatsuhiro Sakamoto and Milan van Ewijk combined down the right only for Jan Paul van Hecke to make a vital block.

However, Spurs broke the deadlock on 14 minutes when former Coventry man Maddison curled a first time shot into the top-left corner from 20-yards.

The Sky Blues equalised just four minutes after half time when the ball broke kindly into the path of Rudoni in the box and the midfielder forced a shot past Spurs goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky.

Spurs went close soon after when a loose ball broke to Sandro Tonali in the box only for the midfielder to lash a venomous effort narrowly over the crossbar.

The home side reclaimed the lead on 58 minutes when Marmoush curled a shot beyond Carl Rushworth from the edge of the penalty area despite catching van Ewijk in the face with his elbow moments before he went for goal.

And Spurs sealed the points six minutes into injury time with Rushworth unable to keep out substitute Davies’ outside of the foot effort from the edge of the penalty area.

Coventry are next in action against Fulham on Saturday, October 24 with kick-off at 3pm at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

COVENTRY City have confirmed the signing of Yang Min-hyeok on loan from Tottenham Hotspur until the end of the season.

Yang becomes Frank Lampard’s first signing of the January transfer window.

The 19-year-old winger spent the first half of the campaign on loan at Portsmouth.

Yang said: “I’m very happy and excited to join a club with such strong traditions and history.

“When I played against Coventry, I really felt the positive atmosphere within the team, and that made me even more excited about becoming part of this club.

“The head coach explained very clearly how he plans to use me and how I could fit into the team, which gave me a lot of confidence that this is the right place for me.

“I want to help the team achieve its goal and to do that, I need to adapt as quickly as possible, show my qualities on the pitch, and prove why I am here.”

Yang has won two caps for South Korea’s senior team and scored three goals and provided one assist for Pompey in 16 appearances.

He will wear the number 18 shirt during his time with the Sky Blues.

The teenager started his career with Gangwon FC in his native South Korea where he scored 12 goals in 38 appearances.

His performances saw him win the K League 1 young player of the year award in 2024.

He also enjoyed a loan spell with Queens Park Rangers last season.

COVENTRY City have agreed a deal to sign Yang Min-hyeok on loan from Tottenham Hotspur.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Sky Blues have agreed a deal with Spurs to sign the winger on loan until the end of the season.

Yang spent the first half of the campaign on loan at Championship rivals Portsmouth where he scored three goals and provided one assist in 15 appearances.

The 19-year-old predominantly played on the left wing for Pompey but also featured on the opposite flank.

Tottenham recalled the two-cap South Korea international from his loan spell at Fratton Park earlier today.
