The noises interrupted the protection introduced by former England striker Gary Lineker earlier than the match between Wolverhampton and Liverpool at Molineux Stadium on Tuesday.

Lineker later posted on Twitter an image of a cellular phone that he mentioned was “taped to the again of the set” contained in the stadium. “As sabotage goes it was fairly amusing,” Lineker mentioned.

The BBC gave the impression to be much less amused, and issued a press release saying: “We apologise to any viewers offended throughout the stay protection of the soccer this night.”

A self-ascribed YouTube prankster, who calls himself “Jarvo,” tweeted that he was behind the stunt, and posted a video exhibiting him calling the cellphone to activate the sounds.

Jarvo, whose actual title is Daniel Jarvis, was banned in October from all sporting occasions in England and Wales for 2 years after working onto the pitch throughout a cricket check match between England and India in September 2021 and barging into England batter Jonny Bairstow.
