Tottenham's first-half shot is zero, and he barely makes it to 4R with a theater goal
Son Heung-min was substituted in the second half.
Tottenham Hotspur, whose offense did not survive, barely survived the elimination crisis.
Tottenham came from behind to win 2-1 in the third round away match against Coventry City second division in the "2024-25 English League Cup" held at Coventry Building Society Arena on the 19th.
Fortunately, Tottenham won and qualified for the fourth round, but their performance was poor. In particular, considering that the opponent was a second-tier team, they should have produced better results.
Coach Anze Postecoglou made significant changes to the starting lineup. He sat down on the bench to provide rest for most of the main players, including Son Heung-min, the captain and main striker.
Tottenham's 1.5th team showed overwhelming performance against Coventry City with a 74%-26% ball possession.
However, it was only a long time for the ball to be owned, but there was no substance. In fact, Tottenham's attack was so ineffective that it recorded zero shooting throughout the first half, but rather Coventry City showed a better performance by attempting two shots.
In the end, Postecoglou pulled out a replacement knife in the second half and decided to put Son Heung-min and other key players in.
Son was substituted in the 17th minute of the second half to change the mood, but had to watch his loss as soon as he stepped on the ground. Coventry scored the first goal at 18 minutes in the second half when Bassett crossed the left side and Thomas Asante pushed it in.

In a hurry, Tottenham went on a general offensive.
However, Coventry also continued to attack and lost time without taking any significant opportunities. In the 43rd minute of the second half, Tottenham scored a dramatic equalizer when Zed Spence scored a goal for a ball connected by Kulusevski.
Tottenham did not stop there, but Johnson, who had a 1:1 chance with the goalkeeper during the two-minute extra time counterattack, made a theater goal and turned the game around.
It dramatically earned a ticket to the fourth round, but Tottenham's weaknesses were clearly revealed. Timo Werner and Dominic Solanke, who started, still struggled to score due to mismatched breathing, and the connection with the midfielders also showed an unnatural appearance. 메이저사이트
Son Heung-min, who was replaced, failed to post a shot, but focused on team play, including eight passes.
The soccer statistics website 'Huscoordcom' gave Son a relatively low rating of 6.02. The best rating for Tottenham was 7.81 for Rodrigo Bentancourt, who scored one assist.
