Soccer game delayed by tiny pitch-invading cat

Goodison Park appears to have a recurring cat problem.

Everton won their FA Cup match against Dagenham and Redbridge on Saturday, but the Football Association might want to take a second look at the result. It seems like Everton were playing with 12 players for part of the game, thanks to this cat.

Apparently there is a herd of cats living at Goodison Park that the grounds crew hasn’t been able to get rid of, because this happened with a different cat back in October, too.

There’s no word yet on whether Dag and Red are going to protest the result.
