Coventry City Daily Digest: Wednesday 21 October 2026
Coventry City's winning sequence ended at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Monday night, Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Coventry City. James Maddison curled Spurs ahead after 14 minutes following Mohammed Kudus's run past Jay Dasilva, Jack Rudoni levelled five minutes after the restart from a shot that came back off Brandon Thomas-Asante, and Omar Marmoush restored the lead in the 58th minute after, in the club's own words, appearing to catch Milan van Ewijk in the face as he controlled the ball, with the referee allowing play to continue. Ben Davies made it 3-1 deep into injury time. Frank Lampard, speaking to BBC Sport, described two outstanding goals for Tottenham and called the second questionable because of the arm up in the face, while saying he was very pleased with the performance and that Coventry were in the game to say the least. Jack Rudoni told Sky Sports it was frustrating and that Coventry took the game plan to them well. Lampard had made one change from the Newcastle win, Tatsuhiro Sakamoto replacing Ephron Mason-Clark, with Taiwo Awoniyi back from suspension and Kaine Kesler-Hayden back from injury, both introduced from the bench along with Frank Onyeka, Mason-Clark and Gustavo Hamer. The club has confirmed that two December home fixtures at the Coventry Building Society Arena have been selected for live broadcast on Sky Sports: Ipswich Town is brought forward 24 hours to Tuesday 1 December, 8pm, and Aston Villa moves to Sunday 13 December, 4.30pm. Coventry have also opened registration for a timed auction of signed match-worn and match-issued shirts from the 4-1 win over Newcastle United, with all profits going to CoppaFeel!, including shirts marking Ellis Simms and Milan van Ewijk's 150th appearances. Coventry are 17th after seven games on six points. Fulham, one place and one point below, visit on Saturday.
