Cat invades pitch during Premier League football match: Video

Barely seven days after Everton's match against Manchester City was disrupted when a man handcuffed himself to one of the goalposts as part of a protest, the red half of Merseyside found its football brought to a halt when a cat invaded the pitch during Liverpool's Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur.

The feline intruder made its push for fame 11 minutes into the game, stopping the match as Spurs goalkeeper Brad Friedel tried to shepherd it towards the touchline and Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish looked on. After a minute-long adventure, the cat was escorted from the pitch by Anfield stewards.

The match ended in a no-score draw, with Spurs staying third and Liverpool seventh in the Premier League table.
