A pitch-invading squirrel caused a delay in play at Leyton Orient on Saturday.
The National League game against Maidstone United was brought to a brief standstill in the second half as the animal ran across the width of the pitch through the penalty area.
The east London team were 2-0 up when the match was interrupted, and they finished the game as 3-0 winners after a penalty from Macauley Bonne five minutes into stoppage time.
Orient top the National League standings while Maidstone are just one place off the bottom.
