The game is now being held up because the cat won't leave the pitch.

A lost cat wandered onto the pitch in the middle of Everton's 2-0 win, causing play to stop as Toffees goalkeeper Joel Robles attempted to usher it away.

The nerveless feline took some encouraging before finally darting off behind the goal.

You don't see that at the football every day!
