Clad in a white t-shirt, black pants and brown boots, the man raced towards Alisson Becker's goalpost where he tried to handcuff himself - leaving the Liverpool shot-stopper mystified.

Fortunately, the security guards responded in time and managed to get hold of the trespasser before they whisked him away.
