Tottenham won. 3-1 against Coventry City, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, their first league win of the season. That’s historic. I’m weighing my words. I announced it in the “Sunday Devils” WhatsApp group before the final whistle, and my brother-in-law replied that we don’t support Tottenham. We support whoever finally wins, it’s different.
Because, according to Sporza, that was 148 days without a league win. And according to HLN, six matches this season: three draws, three defeats. Three draws, there are positives. Three defeats, that’s a disgrace. Both at once, that’s a season.
The match. James Maddison opens the scoring in the 14th minute, from a Mohammed Kudus pass, on his return to the starting eleven after 536 days, according to Sporza. Historic. Jack Rudoni equalises in the 49th for Coventry, Frank Lampard’s side. A disgrace, I dropped my cone of chips. Omar Marmoush puts Tottenham back in front soon after, his first goal in that shirt. Historic, I pick the cone back up. And Ben Davies, with the outside of his foot in the 90th+6, makes it 3-1. By then I had no chips left, so I dropped nothing.
The table, now, because I know the table like I know my seat 14. Tottenham have 6 points, 16th, and leave bottom place. Fulham are 18th on 5 points, first in the relegation zone, according to RMC Sport. Sixteenth, then. Well, not bad.
Silly question, but if 16th is historic, what’s 15th?
I told her we’d see on Saturday. Tottenham go to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea, 4th, at 6.30pm. Now we take it one game at a time, you know.
It’s true, we checked: Sporza.
