Jose Mourinho sent Jurgen Klopp message during Tottenham's win over Marine

A Marine fan used the opportunity of the FA Cup third round to issue a message to Jurgen Klopp during Tottenham's trip to Merseyside.

The Premier League giants tackled their non-league opponents behind closed doors on Sunday evening with fans unable to attend due to the coronavirus restrictions.

Fortunately for some supporters, Marine's stadium backs onto the gardens of a number of houses - and many residents spent the evening watching the tie.

For those less lucky, the tie was selected for live coverage on the BBC - with one supporter making the most of their opportunity.

In the second half, the camera panned to one garden where one fan tried her luck by attempting to make Jose Mourinho her matchmaker.

The message read: "Well hallo Jose. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I'm single, ready to mingle. Have you got Jurgen's number?"

Other fans on social media were amused by the banner and it also earned a chuckle from the BBC's commentary team.

Unfortunately for the lady looking for love, Klopp is happily married having wed children's author and social worker Ulla Sandrock in 2005.

He also has a son, Marc, from a previous marriage who has previously played in German football, including with Borussia Dortmund's second team.
