ARSENAL'S clash with Liverpool was temporarily halted when a pitch invader tried to HANDCUFF himself to the goalposts.
The bizarre incident took place in the hour mark of the Premier League clash at the Emirates as an attention-seeking fan made it past security and entered the pitch.
The man – who wore a white T-shirt of a website on which he wrote 'Just stop oil' – tried to tie himself up on one of the posts and left Reds goalkeeper Alisson baffled as he stood nearby.
The Brazil international signalled to referee Andre Mariner, who paused the game as stewards attended to the matter at hand.
The security team managed to swiftly escort the trespasser out of the pitch despite some struggle.
The man was then recorded lying on his stomach in the surrounding area as stewards waited for him to get back up to his feet while the game resumed.
