Sheffield United's players were left in hysterics as an unusual park training session ahead of their Premier League clash with Liverpool was interrupted by a local dog.
The Blades head to Anfield on Thursday night to take on the dominant top-flight leaders in their first fixture of 2020 and will hope to end their opponents' long unbeaten home streak while in the process boost their own prospects of a top-six finish.
Chris Wilder's squad concluded preparations for that high-profile contest in a public setting at the nearby Stanley Park, which traditionally separates Anfield and Everton's Goodison Park.
"No airs and graces, just hard work," Sheffield United posted alongside a picture of the players being put through their paces with Anfield looming in the background.
However, the club got more than they bargained for as the session was interrupted by a dog, who proceeded to urinate on a pile of cones before quickly fleeing the scene.
Sheffield United's amusing video of the incident has quickly gone viral, with the club joking: "Just trying to do an activation session in peace."
