Tottenham fans will love the club's advice on how to combat coronavirus

This week we should have been discussing the fallout from Tottenham's huge top-four clash against Manchester United, and the build up to a London derby against West Ham.

The fixture against David Moyes' side was due to take place on Friday night, but the coronavirus outbreak has put paid to any professional sport in the UK for the foreseeable future.

It can be tough to keep spirits up when there is bad news on a global scale, but Tottenham are trying to do just that with their latest message to fans.

Coronavirus: The effects on the body

With the government's advice of self-isolation and fastidious hand washing, Spurs sought to help supporters by giving them the perfect tool to measure how long they should be washing their hands for.

And it came in the form of Lucas Moura's infamous Ajax hat-trick in last season's Champions League semi-final second leg away in Amsterdam

Things have not been going so well this season on the pitch for Spurs, so it is always nice to hark back to when things were running smoothly.

Moura's hat-trick was perfectly timed to send Spurs into the final of the Champions League, and cause the most heart palpitations possible among supporters.

But fans will be content in the knowledge that the club are thinking about them and trying to help out in these trying times.
