Tottenham also continued to do their bit to help.

Sports stars and clubs across the world continue to help their local communities – and find new ways to amuse themselves – during the coronavirus pandemic.

Here, the PA news agency looks at some of the best examples from April 21.

Football

The Football Association is encouraging fans to show off their skills at home by offering the chance to have their videos streamed on the big screen at Wembley and published on social media.

Barcelona announced that they will sell the naming rights to the Nou Camp for the first time since its opening in 1957 to raise money in the fight against coronavirus. The Catalan giants will try to find a sponsor for the stadium for the 2020-21 season, with funds going to the Barca Foundation.

Clearly missing the buzz of competitive action, Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba took on his mother.

Meanwhile, Pogba's United team-mates Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire are keeping in touch, with the striker working on his fitness.
