Jose Mourinho and some of his Tottenham players accused by the Government of 'putting lives at risk' after flouting social distancing regulations for a training session

The Government have accused Jose Mourinho and some of his Tottenham players of 'endangering people's lives' after they breached coronavirus lockdown guidelines.

Spurs manager Mourinho was forced to admit he was in the wrong after flouting social distancing advice by overseeing a training session with midfielder Tanguy Ndombele on Hadley Common in Barnet.

Footage of Davinson Sanchez, Ryan Sessegnon and Serge Aurier out running and similarly defying the guidelines — introduced to halt the spread of the virus — emerged on the same day.
