Black cat at Anfield provides bad omen for Liverpool before kickoff

Liverpool got a bit of a bad omen before their massive game against Manchester United on Monday when a black cat trotted across the pitch before kickoff.

The feline took a stroll on the grass at Anfield for nearly a minute before running away in a moment of pre-Halloween October serendipity.

Anfield seems to attract cats, as a tabby also became famous for interrupting a game there against Tottenham in 2012, and another kitty made a mad dash while Liverpool played Arsenal in 1964.
