Tottenham Hotspur finally secured their first Premier League win of the season with a 3-1 home victory over Coventry City on Monday, according to several media outlets.

The result lifts Spurs out of the relegation zone, as reported by RMC Sport and Mundo Deportivo. The win came in the 7th matchday of the Premier League, with the team coached by De Zerbi, as noted by Corriere dello Sport.

Key performers

James Maddison, returning to the starting lineup, opened the scoring with a fine curled effort, according to the Evening Standard. NOS also highlighted Maddison's contribution, noting his return from injury.

Omar Marmoush scored his first goal for the club, as reported by kicker, while Davies added another to seal the win, according to The Guardian. Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport both credited Marmoush and Davies with decisive goals in the second half.

Team news and context

Sky Sports noted that Dejan Kulusevski made a long-awaited return in the match. De Telegraaf highlighted the presence of Jan Paul van Hecke and Micky van de Ven in the Spurs lineup.

The Evening Standard described the team as injury-ravaged, which made the victory particularly significant.

Coventry, managed by Lampard, were unable to prevent the defeat, as reported by Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport. Mundo Deportivo noted that the loss came at the expense of Arbeloa, though the exact nature of that reference is unclear from the available sources.

Looking ahead

Tottenham will hope to build on this result as they continue their Premier League campaign, having finally ended their winless start to the season.
