Not only did Lizwani manage to sneak past the security guardsbuthe also found a seat on the bus as Erik tenHag'sside prepared to head back to Manchester. He was only spotted afterwards byUnited'ssecurity guards and peacefully removed from the bus.

While the matterwas resolved'amicably',those involvedin the matterhave described it as a substantial security breach. The Premier League has sent a diktat to all 20 clubs, warning them to be on the lookout for repeats.

Meanwhile, Palace have launched an investigation. CCTV footage is being examined by the club officials,in an attempt to scrutinise theprankster'smovements and ascertain how he was able to pull off the rather dangerous stunt.

United were outplayed in front of a vociferous Selhurst Park as Oliver Glasner's men toyed with the record Premier League champions. Ten Hag was left scratching his head as United looked shaky, ginger and too timid to take on the technically superior Palace players.

Lizwani's BAFTA stunt

Notably, Lizwani made headlines in March when he sneaked onto the stage as the cast and crew of Oppenheimer received their BAFTA award for best film. He managed to stand alongsidethe likes ofdirector Christopher Nolan, actor Cillian Murphy and producer Emma Thomas.

The YouTuber claimed that he remained at the BAFTAs for over an hour before the event security caught him. He was handed over to the police who made him delete the footage he had taken on the night.
