Ghana international Mohammed Kudus provided an assist as Tottenham Hotspur claimed a 3-1 victory over Coventry City in the English Premier League, although concerns emerged after the forward limped off with a suspected injury late in the match.
Kudus started Monday night’s fixture at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and helped Spurs take an early lead before goals from Omar Marmoush and Ben Davies secured the win.
The Ghanaian set up James Maddison for the opening goal in the 14th minute, with the midfielder finishing from the edge of the penalty area to give the hosts an early advantage.
Tottenham looked to build on that promising start, but Coventry responded after the interval to bring the contest level.
Jack Rudoni capitalised on a rebound inside the penalty area in the 49th minute, restoring parity and giving the visitors renewed hope of taking something from the game.
Spurs responded nine minutes later, with Marmoush restoring their advantage in the 58th minute.
The forward collected a pass from Andrew Robertson near the edge of the penalty area before sending his effort into the right side of the net to put Tottenham back in front.
Coventry were unable to find another equaliser as the home side worked to protect their lead and secure all three points.
Tottenham eventually confirmed the victory deep into stoppage time when Davies produced a superb volley from the edge of the box in the 90th minute. Dominic Solanke supplied the assist for the late goal, completing the 3-1 scoreline.
However, the result was overshadowed by concerns over Kudus, whose evening came to an early end in the 87th minute.
The Ghanaian appeared to pick up an injury and was seen limping off the pitch, prompting his substitution for Dejan Kulusevski.
The extent of the suspected injury was not immediately known, leaving uncertainty over the forward’s condition following his contribution to the victory.
Kudus’ assist for Maddison’s opener had helped Tottenham establish an early foothold in the game, while his involvement from the start underlined his role in the team’s attacking set-up.
His departure late in the contest will be a concern for Spurs as they assess his condition, although no further details about the injury were provided in the match report.
For Tottenham, the three goals ensured a positive result after Coventry had briefly threatened to frustrate the hosts with their second-half equaliser.
Marmoush’s strike proved decisive in restoring Tottenham’s lead, while Davies’ late volley added further gloss to the scoreline.
The victory was secured through contributions from several players, with Kudus creating the opening goal, Robertson setting up Marmoush and Solanke providing the final assist.
Attention will now turn to Kudus’ fitness following his late withdrawal, with the severity of the injury still unknown.
The assist was Kudus’ second in the Premier League this season, marking another positive step in his return after a lengthy injury layoff.
