Watch bizarre moment an excited SQUIRREL joins in the attack for Norwich's goal

THE Canaries were helped by a SQUIRREL in a bizarre turn of events in Norwich’s match against Hull.

The visitors were trailing the East Yorkshire side 1-0 when an unplanned secret squirrel attack unlocked The Tigers’ defence.

As the playoff hopefuls worked the ball forward in search of an equaliser, the speedy rodent was seen running down the wing on the MKM Stadium pitch.

Norwich’s Borja Sainz spotted the squirrel making the perfect overlap, but opted to play in Kellen Fisher instead.

Fisher’s cross was then met by the head of US striker Josh Sargent who notched his ninth goal of the season.

However, it would be amiss not to credit his new furry team-mate for creating the goalscoring opportunity.

Needless to say, football fans online were full of puns and praise for the mammal – mostly referencing nuts.

One wrote: “That’s nuts.”

A second posted: “They squirrelled the ball away.”

A third shared: “Decent overlapping run that to draw out the full back.”

While a fourth joked: “It was onside so no issues.”

Animals on the pitch in the EFL are nothing new, though.

Shocking moment fans throw pig’s head on to the pitch during bitter derby clash before player kicks it away

Only last month, a DOG had to be chased off the pitch moments before kick-off at Bristol Rovers vs Leyton Orient.

The League One clash was in danger of being delayed as the hosts tried to chase down the four-legged pitch invader.

The dog entered the pitch from one corner and managed to sprint all the way across to the opposite corner flag, all while being chased by a hapless club official.

The hound was cheered all the way and greeted to cries of: “Sign him up! Sign him up! Sign him up!”
