Spurs crashed to their heaviest defeat at Highfield Road in an abysmal performance.

Roland Nilsson cleared Ferdinand's header off the line, Marcus Hedman saved a Ginola drive and Carr drilled a shot against the post in the first half when Spurs looked favourites to win.  Two minutes before the break Dublin flicked on for Huckerby to score for the Sky Blues.

Fox hit a shot wide and then Ferdinand saw Nilsson hack another effort away from the line, but on 61 minutes, Gary Breen was first to the rebound when his first shot was blocked to make it 2-0.  Fox put a header in on goal that brought Hedman into action again, but Marcus Hall and Huckerby scored within five minutes of each other to wrap up a 4-0 win.

A final day win was just enough to keep Coventry in the Premier League against a depleted Spurs side, with the final game of the season kicking off late, due to the visitors getting stuck in M1 and M25 traffic.

A desperate Sky Blues team flew out of the blocks, with David Burrows earning a second minute booking and Noel Whelan being lucky not to be sent off in the early stages.  Dion Dublin put the Sky Blues ahead in the 13th minute, heading home Gary McAllister's cross to beat Baardsen making his first start in goal.  At the other end, Steve Ogrizovic had to be alert to keep out a Ruel Fox effort, but the lead was doubled when Paul Williams added a volley that flew in off the post from around the penalty spot.  Baardsen made a flying save to prevent Jess' drive putting the game even further out of Tottenham's reach.

Paul McVeigh pegged a goal back after 43 minutes of the first half, when he reacted first to head home Sheringham's free-kick that bounced back off the upright.  Indeed, the Irishman could have drawn Spurs level, but was denied by the Coventry keeper, who dived at his feet to end his run with the ball into the box.

Into the second half, Spurs had the chances to deprive Coventry of the points, but failed to capitalise on the openings.  Ramon Vega snuck in to head low to Ogrizovic's left and he dived full length to push the ball wide.  Neale Fenn was denied by a point-blank stop by Ogrizovic and from the corner, the keeper did well to keep out Dozzell's header.

A Teddy Sheringham goal gave Spurs a half-time lead, but the Sky Blues levelled through a Noel Whelan strike with an hour gone.  On 75 minutes, Andy Sinton hit the goal that won the match for Tottenham after being set up by debutant Steffen Iversen, who was lively throughout and caused the Coventry goal some serious threat.

Spurs lost this League Cup Thirrd round tie 3-2 to Coventry City, when it looked to have been settled in the first twenty minutes.

In that time Tottenham had taken a 2-0 lead, starting with a second minute goal from Chris Armstrong who rolled his man on the halfway line, running away and slipping the ball past John Filan from the left side inside the penalty area.   A long throw down the right wing to Armstring saw him move forward and cross the ball into the near post area, where David Busst nudged the ball into his own goal under pressure from Teddy Sheringham in the 20th minute.

However, Ron Atkinson's side side staged a rousing comeback to win with three goals from a 55th minute Peter Ndlovu penalty after a handball by Colin Calderwood, Busst (61 minutes) and John Salako, netting a close range goal after 76 minutes when a Dion Dublin header had been saved in the second period.

White Hart Lane was to be a happy hunting ground for the Sky Blues in their battles against the drop, with this game being no exception, in what should have been a happy farewell to Jurgen Klinsmann. 

As it was, Gordon Strachan picked up the ball deep in his own half and exchanged passes before he crossed for Peter Ndlovu to head home on 32 minutes to see Coventry turn around with a slim lead.  In the 62nd minute, Justin Edinburgh fouled Strachan in the box to allow Ndlovu to double his tally and the score-line, with a third Sky Blue goal coming from Dublin, set up by Strachan again to hook the ball past Ian Walker on the volley at the near post five minutes later.

Darren Anderton's goal seven minutes from the end was too little too late to salvage anything from the game for Tottenham, coming when Klinsmann caused panic on the edge of the box and the ball was sliced into the air and the England winger lobbed it calmly over Filan from inside the box.

While the Sky Blues had the bulk of the better play, they were unable to make it count until Kevin Scott was adjudged to have fouled Peter Ndlovu in the box and the Coventry winger got up to convert the spot-kick in the 62nd minute for what turned out to be the winning goal.  The Zimbabwean almost doubled his tally when he struck the bar lat eon in the game.

The sky Blues took a 25th minute lead when Phil Babb headed home the opening goal of the match from Wegerle's corner at the Park Lane end, but Spurs hit back just before the break with Darren Caskey making it 1-1.  Nick Barmby looked as though he had been fouled when he nipped in behind the COventry defence, but play continued and Caskey swept the ball home from ten yards out, leaving Ogizovic helpless.

The visitors scored the winner in the 77th minute, when Chris Marsden and Peter Ndlovu created the goal-scoring opportunity for Roy Wegerle, who shot home from a narrow angle inside the penalty area after receiving the ball in from the left and taking it around Erik Thorstvedt.

Spurs lost out 0-2 to Coventry City and it could have easily been more.

An early Sky Blues corner was headed on and David Howells cleared off the line, but John Williams was on hand to knock in the rebound to give Coventry the lead.  Williams also scored City's second, with a run that latched onto a ball down the right and his long legs got to the ball first, then he slid it past Thorstvedt to put Coventry 2-0 up before half-time.

Another long ball saw Robert Rosario chase the ball and Erik Thorstvedt brought him down to concede a penalty, which the Spurs keeper managed to beat out when Micky Gynn took the spot-kick.  To compound Tottenham's miserable day, late in the game, Gordon Durie was booked for feigning injury after he had been head-butted.

Terry Butcher had taken over from player turned coach turned manager John Sillett earlier in the season and new signing, former England full back Kenny Sansom was playing his second Sky Blues game.

Spurs may have had their upcoming FA Cup semi-final on their minds with both Gary Lineker and Paul Gascoigne missing from the line-up, but Coventry put in a first half display that belied their league position.  David Smith grabbed a ninth minute opener on his birthday and then Kevin Gallacher doubled the Sky Blues lead after 20 minutes.

Nayim got Spurs back in the game two minutes before half-time and it was the Moroccan who netted again in the 77th minute to earn Spurs a point as the Midlands side faded tin the second half.

A 3-2 win saw Spurs edge past Coventry in this Easter encounter thanks to Gary Lineker and Paul Stewart.

David Smith and David Speedie had put the visitors 2-0 ahead, but Spurs came back with the goals from the England duo to secure victory.  Lineker got Spurs a foothold in the match before the break, then Stewart levelled things up a minute after the restart.  He took the ball from a throw-in on his thigh, lifted the ball over his and an opponent's head, then hit a stunning volley from a narrow angle to beat the keeper.  Gary Lineker secured the win, when he clinically finished for Tottenham's third.

Former Spurs Alan Brazil was out through in the box by Dave Bennett's reverse pass, but he nudged the ball wide of the goal with only Ray Clemence to beat.  Regis squared a ball across the box from the right to give Brazil another opportunity, which he also put a few feet wide of the near post. 

Clemence did well to beat a shot from just inside the area out for a corner and when Spurs did get to the other end of the pitch, Waddle set up Hoddle, but his shot flew over the bar from 12 yards out.  As it was, a long straight ball out of defence sent Cyrille Regis away and he outstripped the Spurs defenders and put the ball low past Clemence from the right to hand the Sky Blues the points with his 80th minute strike.

Wearing the infamous brown Admiral away kit, Coventry City arrived at White Hart Lane with only one defeat to face Spurs in the First Division.

The sides cancelled out each other in a goal-less first half, but into the second, Spurs brought on Glenn Hoddle and with ten minutes left, he went on a run, dribbling past brown shirts to score the opening goal of the match.  However, it only lasted four minutes, as centre-forward Mick Ferguson crashed home a header from a Mick Coop cross to level the score.

In the 37th minute, good work from Joe Kinnear and Alan Mullery set up Martin Chivers for a shooting opportunity, but goalkeeper Bill Glazier was quick off his line to block the effort.  Spurs were thankful for the crossbar's intervention when Willie Carr's 'donkey kick' free-kick was volleyed against the woodwork by Ernie Hunt.

Pat Jennings had to receive treatment for a cut left eye during the first period, but had an easy time, although a late effort from Northern Ireland full-back Dave Clements flew over the top.

His headed goal early on in this match, his debut, put Tottenham ahead with just 13 minutes on the clock.  Peters swept the ball wide to Alan Mullery, who slipped the ball outside to Ray Evans, who went on an over-lapping run before crossing for Peters to head past Bill Glazier in the Coventry goal.

But it was the Sky Blues with two second half goals that earned the Midlanders the points.  In the 58th minute, Neil Martin was unmarked at the far post to head in a corner and nine minutes from the end, John O'Rourke ran clear and slipped the ball past Pat Jennings to make the final score 2-1 to the Coventry for their first win at White Hart Lane.

Ian Gibson restored the two goal lead, scoring from a Mick Coop cross that Martin stepped over to allow Gibson the chance shortly after half-time and although Alan Gilzean got one back before the end with a headed effort, Tottenham could not find the equaliser.  Spurs had Neil Johnson injured in the first minute and he struggled on to half-time, when he was replaced by Peter Collins.

This Division Two match drew the biggest crowd to watch a game between the two sides and Spurs ran out 3-1 winners, leaving City in bottom place in the league table.

Les Bennett opened the scoring for Tottenham, but Ted Roberts equalised for the Sky Blues, although a goal from Len Duquemin saw Spurs regain a lead before the interval.  It was another from Duquemin in the second half that saw Spurs through to a comfortable two points against a Coventry side disrupted by an injury to right back Harry Barratt.

prolific striker Ted Roberts netted to add to his total for the season.

The second half performance was played out with little enthusiasm by either side until Bill MacDonald scored two minutes before the final whistle to seal a big home win that took the Sky Blues into fourth position in the Second Division table.
