Tottenham Hotspur earned their first Premier League win of the season in the seventh round, beating Coventry City 3-1 at home. James Maddison, making his first start in 536 days after a long injury absence, opened the scoring from distance. Jack Rudoni equalised early in the second half, before Omar Marmoush restored Tottenham's lead and Ben Davies scored in stoppage time.

Jan Paul van Hecke and Micky van de Ven started for Tottenham, with Van de Ven wearing the captain's armband. The win lifted Tottenham from last place to 16th, above Coventry on goal difference. One report gave the final score as 2-1, but the other reports said it finished 3-1.
