Tottenham Hotspur, Coventry City, James Maddison and Omar Marmoush
19 October 2026
Tottenham secured their first Premier League victory of the season with a 3-1 win over Coventry City. James Maddison scored a spectacular goal on his first league start for 18 months, while Omar Marmoush registered his first Tottenham goal to help ease pressure on manager Roberto De Zerbi.
Maddison opened the scoring after 14 minutes with a first-time strike from outside the penalty area. Jack Rudoni equalised for Coventry shortly after half-time, but Marmoush restored Spurs’ advantage nine minutes later. Ben Davies added a third goal to seal the result. Maddison’s strike was his 21st Premier League goal from outside the box since August 2018, more than any other player in that period according to the supplied report.
