Facing the camera, Carragher had no idea two police horses were walking behind him – until they had gone past.

Carragher quickly jumped away from the animal while looking over his shoulder, clearly feeling it came too close for comfort.

Football fans found Carra’s reaction hilarious and mocked the former Liverpool star.

One supporter commented: “He thought it was Ronaldo”. A reference to the Portuguese snubbing Carragher for a handshake a few weeks ago.

Another added: “Used to be surrounded by donkeys.”

And a third said: “When you see Martinez win another header.”

Carragher also made fun of himself, tweeting the video alongside a caption that reads: “Defenders in the Premier League when Haaland is about! .”

The pundit was stopped midflow talking about Graham Potter potentially succeeding Tuchel at Stamford Bridge.

The Brighton boss met with Chelsea chiefs today after the Seagulls gave him the green light to discuss a move.

SunSport understands the Blues want a new gaffer in place before Saturday’s West London derby against Fulham – and are VERY confident that will be 47-year-old Potter.

However, former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane is also on Todd Boehly’s shortlist as well as Benfica boss Roger Schmidt.

Ex-Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino is also available after leaving Paris earlier this year.

It is understood the Argentine would also be open to talking with Chelsea about taking over in the dugout at Stamford Bridge.
