The town of Crosby in Merseyside was the focus of English football as José Mourinho’s Spurs travelled to Northern Premier League Division One North West side Marine for a historic FA Cup clash.

Tottenham won 5-0 at Marine’s picturesque Rossett Park on Sunday evening, a scoreline that included a hat trick from Brazilian Carlos Vinícius as well as a goal for 16-year-old substitute Alfie Devine.

The televised match featured two sides separated by an incredible 160 places over seven tiers in the football pyramid.

These were the best tweets and jokes from a romantic FA Cup tie between Marine and Spurs:

That is truly the most joyful fact of the day, the Marine pitch has numbers around it so they can find whose garden the ball in ❤️ #MARTOT
