The 2020–21 season was Tottenham Hotspur's 29th season in the Premier League and 43rd successive season in the top division of the English football league system. After finishing sixth in the 2019–20 league season, Tottenham entered the UEFA Europa League at the second qualifying round, ultimately reaching the round of 16 in the competition where they were eliminated by Dinamo Zagreb. In the FA Cup, the club was knocked out by Everton in the fifth round.

In the Premier League, Tottenham lost their first game at home to Everton, but then went on an unbeaten run into December, topping the league standings for four weeks. With an away loss to Liverpool, the team's form dropped. José Mourinho had guided the club to the Carabao Cup final, where they would face Manchester City. However, because of the dropped form in the league, he was sacked along with his coaching staff on 19 April 2021,[1] and replaced by former player Ryan Mason as interim head coach until the end of the season.[2] Mason's first game in charge was against Southampton at home, which Tottenham won. The next game was the Carabao Cup final, where Manchester City narrowly prevailed 1–0.

This season was notable for Gareth Bale's return from Real Madrid on loan for a season-long second stint at Tottenham, the first time he played in North London after 2012–13.

EFL Cup

[edit]

The draw for both the second and third round were confirmed on 6 September, live on Sky Sports by Phil Babb.[58] On 21 September, Tottenham's third-round game against Leyton Orient was postponed due to multiple COVID-19 positive tests among the Leyton squad.[59] On 25 September, the English Football League issued a statement saying that it "has determined that in line with Carabao Cup Rule 5.1, the Club [Leyton Orient] was unable to fulfil its obligations to complete the fixture by virtue of the Council’s order and shall therefore forfeit the tie" and that "in accordance with Carabao Cup Rules, Tottenham Hotspur have been awarded with a bye to progress to Round Four of the Carabao Cup",[60] where they played Chelsea. The game finished 1–1, and went straight to a penalty shoot-out which Tottenham won 5–4 to progress into the next round. Tottenham won their quarter-final against Stoke City by a 3–1 scoreline to advance to the semi-finals. In the semi-finals, played over only one leg, Tottenham then beat 10-man Brentford 2–0 to progress to the final of the competition, which they lost 1–0 against Manchester City.

Note: The tie between Leyton Orient and Tottenham Hotspur was postponed after multiple Orient players tested positive for COVID-19.[61] On 25 September, it was confirmed that Tottenham had received a bye into the fourth round, due to Orient's inability to fulfill the fixture.[62]
