Are you having a giraffe? Semi-naked man invades pitch dressed as Sutton mascot during Arsenal FA Cup clash

Arsenal's FA Cup match at Sutton United was briefly halted on Monday night when a man wearing a giraffe mask on his head made his way onto the pitch.

In only boxer shorts, socks, trainers and the mask, perched on the top of his head - seemingly in reference to the Sutton mascot 'Jenny the Giraffe' - the pitch invader made his way onto the Gander Green Lane turf early in the first half and approached some of the Gunners stars.

With fewer stewards than at most of this week's FA Cup matches to remove him from the field of play, he did eventually make his way off so the game could continue.
