Everton's Premier League match against Newcastle was brought to a surprise halt after a supporter tied themselves to one of the goalposts at Goodison Park.
Play in the early stages of the second half was stopped due to a fan racing on to the pitch from the stands and managing to fasten themselves securely to the upright.
The eyebrow-raising incident appeared to have been a protest, with the individual sporting an orange t-shirt emblazoned with the words 'just stop oil'.
After a delay of almost seven minutes, the struggling fan was finally prised away from the post and escorted off the field by police offers and stewards.
