If you haven't already seen it, this critter gives the runaround to the Swiss League bringing a FC Thun vs FC Zurich match to a standstill till one of the players, Loris Benito took matters, ah, into his own hands almost costing him his finger.
The marten then scampered forth again but David Da Costa, Zurich's goalkeeper protected by his gloves made an important interception. Zurich also proved to be the better side beating Thun, 4-0, if you're into such mundane matters. For those interested in taxonomy, the pine martens are found extensively in N.Europe, belong to the same species as otter, mink, badger, wolverine, and weasel, and are a nuisance because they apparently love chewing the brake cables of parked cars.
One should be glad it wasn't the Arsenal defence, backpedaling away from the little fella all Scotty Parker like. They would have knocked their heads together and got their butts bitten.
