After both rallying from behind to defeat lower-league opponents in the EFL Cup, London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Brentford will face off in a Premier League derby on Saturday.
Ange Postecoglou’s side endured a tough battle against Coventry City but eventually secured a 2-1 win, while Brentford triumphed 3-1 over Leyton Orient.
Just a day after reiterating his claim that he “always” wins trophies in his second year—a statement that holds true for now—Postecoglou was minutes away from seeing Spurs’ EFL Cup dreams slip away before their late comeback in Coventry.
