Spurs were headed to a third consecutive defeat when Brandon Thomas-Asante fired the Championship side into a deserved lead after 63 minutes. Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou had responded to criticism after Sunday's 0-1 defeat to Arsenal in the north London derby by insisting he will continue his record of winning silverware in his second season at multiple clubs. As Postecoglou was facing up to a second consecutive early exit in this competition, his blushes were spared when Dejan Kulusevski linked up with Spence, who prodded home for his first Spurs goal in the 87th minute.

Tottenham sensed their moment and in the second minute of stoppage time Rodrigo Bentancur played in Johnson, who rolled home the winner.
