Tottenham Hotspur

Antonin Kinsky: Fumbled first-half corner and not great with his feet. 5
Tosin Adarabioyo: Powerful in the air and did well in the physical challenges until he went off injured. 6
Jan Paul van Hecke: Disappointing night. Uncertain moments and lost possession for Coventry City's goal, but did make one brave clearance. 5
Micky van de Ven: Superb tackle to stop Brandon Thomas-Asante in the first half and solid all-round display. 7
Archie Gray: Busy and did his best to give Spurs some creative edge. 6
Sandro Tonali: Occasional flashes but still struggles to justify his £100m price tag. Needs to produce more. 6
James Maddison: Brilliant strike on his first start for 18 months. Always prompting and probing. Revelled in his return to the starting line-up until understandably tiring. 8
Andrew Robertson: Some trademark surging runs and always willing to join the attack but picked up an injury. 6
Mohammed Kudus: Mixed night. Some good things but too often short of end product. 5
Omar Marmoush: Had struggled but then scored a superb goal. 6
Dominic Solanke: Tireless but little luck. Booked and had a shot on the turn over in first half. 5
Subs:
Conor Gallagher (on 69, Maddison): Not able to get into the game. 5
Mateus Fernandes (on 69, Tosin): Little impact. 5
Ben Davies (on 69, Robertson): Experienced head to close out the win and got himself a goal. 6
Mathys Tel (on 87 Marmoush).
Dejan Kulusevski (on 87 Kudus).
Subs not used: Dubravka, Senesi, Olusesi, Williams-Barnett.
Coventry City
Carl Rushworth: No chance with first two goals but a horror show for the third from Ben Davies. 5
Milan van Ewijk: Long throws a threat, especially in the first half. Caught an elbow when trying to challenge Marmoush for his goal. 6
Bobby Thomas: Vital headed clearance and tower of strength in defence. 7
Ethan Pinnock: Another dependable performance as Coventry looked solid and well-organised at the back. 6
Jay Dasilva: Quiet night. Booked for challenge on Kudus. 5
Caleb Yirenkyi: Not able to exert much influence and was substituted. Booked for a poor challenge on Gray. 5
Matt Grimes: Always busy but not able to have a significant impact. 5
Brandon Thomas-Asante: Industrious and was only denied a goal by Van de Ven's superb first-half tackle. 6
Jack Rudoni: Showed great determination to bustle his way through for his goal. 7
Tatsuhiro Sakamoto: Some dangerous deliveries and had a good chance in the first half. 6
Sidiki Cherif: Some nice lay-offs and full of effort. Hurt his shoulder in an awkward fall. 6
Subs:
Frank Onyeka (on, 60 Yirenkyi): No effect. 5
Taiwo Awoniyi (on 60, Cherif): Bustling but unable to provide threat. 5
Ephron Mason-Clark (on 78, Thomas-Asante).
Gustavo Hamer (on 78, Sakamoto).
Kaine Kesler-Hayden (on 87, Rudoni).
Subs not used: Bentley, Simms, Mfuni, Torp.
