Spurs Finally Break Their League Duck With Win Over Coventry

Tottenham Hotspur have finally got their Premier League season going. They beat Coventry City at home to record their first league win of the campaign, a result that takes them off the bottom of the table.

Spurs had gone into this fixture still searching for their first points-winning performance in the league, so the three points matter as much for confidence as for the standings. Any side stuck at the foot of the table feels pressure to turn things around quickly, and a home win over a newly arrived opponent gives the club a platform to build on.

The result also offers a clear reference point. Once a team has a first win on the board, the questions shift from whether they can win at all to whether they can string results together. That is the test for Spurs in the matches ahead.
