The squirrel has become something of an internet sensation

Manchester City surprisingly struggled to find the back of the net against Championship side Wolves in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup – with the Blues requiring penalties and some Claudio Bravo heroics to secure their passage to the next round.

Through all the talk of dodgy footballs and Wolves’ impressive performance the real star of the night, however, was not any of the players on show.

It was squirrel.

Yes, in the world of social media the elusive animal has gained all manner of publicity for his display pre-match where he refused to budge until a member of the City ground staff successfully managed to scoop him up and take him away.
