Tottenham travelled to Marine in the FA Cup and instead of a spacious dugout, Jose Mourinho had to settle for a chair to sit on at the eighth tier side. A small dugout plus social distancing rules meant the Portuguese boss had to sit on a normal chair.

Marine managed to keep it at 0-0 for 24 minutes, but Vinicius then opened the scoring. They actually hit four inside the first 35 minutes.

The city of Crosby was excited for the visit of Mourinho's Tottenham because it was the first time they were facing a Premier League side like Spurs.

One of the interesting images involved Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese coach could not sit on the bench due to a lack of space and in order to respect social distancing. He had to sit on a chair along with his coaching staff.

The fans also gave Spurs a warm welcome with banners and messages stuck on the windows of some of the nearby houses.
