Tottenham bag their first league win of the season at home to Coventry and climb off the foot of the Premier League table.
Tottenham Hotspur have their first Premier League win of the season. A home victory over Coventry City lifts them off the bottom of the table and eases some of the pressure that had been building around the club.
Until now, Spurs had been stuck in the kind of start that makes a season feel like it is slipping away. Sitting last in the league was far from what a club of their size and ambition expected, so this result matters for the points and for the mood around the squad.
For Coventry, it is a setback on a tough trip. They will have wanted to take something from the match, but Tottenham's home crowd got the win they had been waiting for.
One win does not fix everything, and Spurs will know the work is only beginning. Still, getting off the mark and out of the relegation zone gives them something to build on. The challenge now is turning a first victory into a run of results.
