Watch the game of ‘Cat and Scouse’ at Anfield

Luis Suarez’s return to action, and even the first public outing of Fabio Capello following his row with the FA, were overshadowed (by a whisker) with an unlikely pitch invasion during the Liverpool – Tottenham match on Monday night.

Play was briefly held up when a lost looking cat, named Jack, bounded onto the turf in the first-half. S-purrs keeper Brad Friedel decided not to risk embarrassment by trying to catch it and Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish even had a chuckle before stewards removed the offending kitty.
