Mamadou Sakho wasn’t in the Liverpool squad last night, but he was at Anfield to watch an under-strength Reds side overcome Exeter in an FA Cup third-round replay.

He brought his young daughter along to sample the occasion and while having a stroll on the pitch after the game, she decided to wander into an interview being conducted with Exeter boss Paul Tisdale live on BT Sport.

Steve McManaman, to be fair to him, handled the situation extremely well, while Jake Humphrey didn’t really know how to react to the kind of moment that no amount of media training can prepare you for.

Sakho, himself, meanwhile, was lapping it up; no doubt he’s already thinking of embarrassing the poor girl with this footage on her 21st birthday.
