Pitch-invading Liverpool fan gets his head slapped and has his hat thrown away by of his heroes, as he tries to celebrate with the players in their FA Cup win over Arsenal

One fan might have got too close to his Liverpool heroes when celebrating the Reds' Liverpool's opener in the 2-0 FA Cup win over Arsenal on Sunday, according to footage that has gone viral on social media.

The Gunners had dominated the first half of the encounter, but despite carving out a number of opportunities, poor finishing once again proved costly for the hosts as they failed to hit the target.

Liverpool were much improved in the second period, and with the tie looking destined for a replay, which neither side will have wanted, Trent Alexander-Arnold's whipped-in free kick brought an own goal out of Jakub Kiwior.
