Tottenham press conference LIVE - De Zerbi on Maddison, Kulusevski and new injury problems

The Tottenham Hotspur is speaking to the media following the victory against Coventry City in the Premier League on Monday

Roberto De Zerbi during the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Coventry City

Roberto De Zerbi is holding his press conference after Tottenham Hotspur finally got their Premier League season up and running with a 3-1 win against Coventry.

It was 536 days since James Maddison's last start for the club and he made up for lost time with a wonderful opening goal just 14 minutes in. It was the first time Spurs had taken the lead in a Premier League game this season as the 29-year-old curled home a perfect effort from outside the box from Mohammed Kudus' pass.

Coventry equalised five minutes into the second half. Poor defending from the hosts gave Jack Rudoni the space to score after a ball into the box bounced to him off Brandon Thomas-Asante. Antonin Kinsky could only pat the ball into his own net.

However, Omar Marmoush scored his first goal for Spurs on 58 minutes and it was a belter. Andy Robertson played the ball into him and the Egyptian turned and battled past his man before curling the ball into the far corner of the net.

Spurs had to make a double change on 69 minutes with both Andy Robertson and Tosin Adarabioyo, making his full debut, needing to come off for Ben Davies and Mateus Fernandes, while Maddison's shift came to an end with Conor Gallagher taking his place.

Dejan Kulusevski made his return from the bench to huge cheers 526 days on from the day the Swede suffered a complicated knee injury two seasons ago and after some nervy moments the home side wrapped up their first victory with Davies hitting a shot that Coventry goalkeeper Carl Rushworth fumbled into his own net.

Our Spurs correspondent is among those putting the questions to De Zerbi after the game. Scroll down for his latest updates from the press conference at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
