Frank Lampard lashed out at a taunting pitch invader after he tried to take a selfie with the Coventry City manager on Tuesday night.
Dan Ballard’s 122nd-minute equaliser secured Sunderland a place at Wembley, after a 3-2 win on aggregate, which means they'll face Sheffield United for a spot in the Premier League.
A batch of supporters jumped onto the turf at the Stadium of Light, with the Coventry boss caught in the middle.
Lampard looked less than pleased and was agitated in his response, as a topless fan ran towards him.

The supporter was holding a phone high and appeared to be attempting to take a photo with Lampard.
After a frosty reception from the ex-England midfielder, he was then escorted away.
One viewer shared a clip of the unfortunate incident on social media and berated the fan’s antics.

He wrote: "Not sure trying to get a selfie with a manager that’s literally just lost a play-off semi final, in injury time of EXTRA time, is the smartest move… Keep it together super Frank Lampard!"
Another posted: "The cheek of this Sunderland fan trying to get a selfie with Frank Lampard after that last gasp winner…"
A third blasted: "No way bro."
The frustrating encounter came just minutes after Coventry lost in additional time at the end of extra-time.

Post-match, Lampard had nothing but praise for his Sky Blues side.
“Where we've come from, 17th in the league in December, the players have been brilliant in the second half of the season. We're competing with the parachute teams in terms of where we finish," he said.
"We came here with absolute bravery to play the way we play. They had to concede to us because of the way we played, the way the lads controlled the game.

"They don't deserve it, the players. I'm a lot older, I've been around a lot, so I've taken whacks and I've had success.
"I suppose I can be maybe a tiny bit more balanced in my job, but for those players, they don't deserve that. So, congratulations to Sunderland. We're not bitter, but we were the better team over the two football matches. Absolutely clear. That's why they'll be so happy that they won that game. They're going to Wembley, but in a football sense massive pride.”
