Tottenham beat Coventry City 3-1 on Monday night. Their first league win of the season.
Spurs were bottom of the table. They were the only team in England's top six divisions without a league win.
James Maddison started his first game in 17 months. He had suffered two serious knee injuries.
Maddison curled the ball into the top corner from outside the box. His first start since May 2025.
Jack Rudoni scored for Coventry four minutes after half-time. The score became 1-1.
Omar Marmoush scored in the 58th minute. His first goal for Tottenham restored the lead.
Dejan Kulusevski came off the bench late on. He had missed over a year with a knee injury.
Ben Davies scored in the sixth minute of added time. A poke home from a Dominic Solanke pass.
All three Spurs goals came from outside the box. The first team to do it since Fulham in May 2023.
The win lifts Tottenham to 16th place. They have six points from seven games.
Marmoush told BBC Sport: 'We will build on this.' He believes the team can climb higher.
