Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou, speaking to Sky Sports: "It was a tough game. Credit to Coventry, I thought they were outstanding. They really took it to us. "We had to hang in there somehow and we did. In the end, credit to the lads. It was a typical cup tie."

Postecoglou took a significant risk by making eight changes from Sunday’s north London derby defeat, including a first appearance in a year for goalkeeper Fraser Forster, and his side were familiarly blunt in attack.

Tottenham Hotspur produced a disappointing performance against Coventry City, and Mikey Moore watched on from the bench.
