First the midfielder, 28, came off the bench after just 35 minutes as Graham Potter shuffled his pack.

Then, after full-time, cameras caught Kovacic running across the pitch just his little Y-fronts... after somehow losing his shirt AND shorts.

The midfielder didn't seem rattled as he sauntered towards the tunnel.

The same couldn't be said for Man Utd legend Schmeichel, however, as he clearly could not believe his eyes.

The iconic shot-stopper was seen looking Kovacic up and down, before taking a second glance and giggling.

And Schmeichel's reaction has caused quite the stir on social media.

One fan said on Twitter: "Schmeichel's reaction... I'm dead."

Another added: "Schmeichel loves a streaker."

One joked: "Peter Schmeichel looked very happy to see him."
