Yes ... a Scouser threw a massive red balloon onto the pitch and Darren Bent's shot had the Liverpool goalkeeper trying to save the ballon ... rather than the ball.

And the Premier League has ruled out replaying Sunderland's 1-0 win over Liverpool, despite Darren Bent's goal being illegal.

Law Five of the game states that any 'outside agent' must be removed from the pitch, and the play started again with a drop ball.

However, the Premier League will not force the match to be played again, despite an obscure precedent.
