A cat got onto the pitch at Goodison Park and brought Everton’s match against Wolves to a halt on Saturday afternoon.
With the hosts already losing 1-3, the second half was interrupted when the feline intruder was spotted near the halfway line.

Everyone watched as it ran around the ground, then towards one of the penalty areas before being led towards an exit.
These were the best Everton cat jokes and tweets after their defeat to Wolves was held up by the animal’s pitch invasion:
This can’t be good for Everton.
There’s a black cat on the pitch.
