Liverpool lost 3-0 to West Ham on Saturday and apart from the misery that result caused the home fans at Anfield, at least they were treated to a masterclass in comedy from Dejan Lovren.

The centre-half has enjoyed a decent enough start to the season, but it all came crashing down horribly as the Croat forgot the basic rule of any good defender: if in doubt, get it the f**k out.

Liverpool were already losing 1-0 after a Joe Gomez error when Lovren found himself on the touchline trying to defend under pressure from West Ham’s Manuel Lanzini.
