A West Ham fan got the better of Liverpool’s Dejan Lovren even before a ball was kicked.
The defender had another absolute stinker of a game during Liverpool’s 2-0 defeat at the Boleyn Ground but this video shows he was left hanging by a young West Ham mascot prior to kick off.
The Croatian international was held largely responsible by critics for Liverpool’s 3-0 loss earlier this season after he was dispossessed twice in the lead-up to West Ham’s crucial second goal.
Lovren’s first season at Anfield after his £20million move from Southampton in July 2014 was a disaster and he lost his spot after a string of shaky performances last season.
