2019–20 Tottenham Hotspur F.C. season
The 2019–20 season was Tottenham Hotspur's 28th season in the Premier League and 42nd successive season in the top division of the English football league system. Along with the Premier League, the club did in the FA Cup and the EFL Cup. The club also competed in the UEFA Champions League after finishing fourth last season. The season started poorly for Tottenham, with only three of their first 12 league games won as well as being knocked out of the EFL Cup by Colchester United. This resulted in Mauricio Pochettino being sacked on 19  November 2019, to be replaced by José Mourinho the following day. In the FA Cup Tottenham twice were taken to a replay and in the fifth round were drawn at home to Norwich City. The game went into extra time and with the result ending in 1–1, it came down to penalties. Norwich won the game 3–2 after the shootout. With the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic, Premier League football matches were postponed in March, including Tottenham's games against Manchester United and West Ham. A further joint statement from the Premier League and UEFA extended postponement until 30 April . The season's postponement was again extended, this time indefinitely. The season for Tottenham restarted on 19 June, where they played Manchester United to a 1–1 draw with Steven Bergwijn on the scoresheet. The season has seen Tottenham taking the least amount of shots since Opta began collecting data during the 1997-98 Season. Several of these games were also plagued by controversial VAR decisions. Two of which were a handball called against Lucas Moura that resulted in Harry Kane's goal against Sheffield United being disallowed, as well as a penalty not given against Bournemouth in which Joshua King  pushed Kane from behind in the box. The Premier League later confirmed that this was, in fact, the wrong decision. The season was documented in the Amazon Prime Video series "". Squad. Season squad. Own goals. ! Player !! Against !!
