For anyone looking to take a selfie with their favorite footballer, this is how it's done.

Manchester City's 7-0 thrashing of Sheffield Wednesday in the Capital One Cup saw Frank Lampard notch a pair of goals, a fine way of following up Saturday's match in which he scored an 85th-minute equalizer against his former club to end Chelsea's perfect start to the season.

And of course, since Lampard is now the coolest player at the Etihad Stadium, one supporter decided to invade the pitch in order to snap a selfie with the iconic midfielder.

The trend of pitch invaders taking selfies with footballers has become increasingly popular since the summer, but this supporter appears to have the art down to three simple steps.

Step #1: Embrace footballer

Step #2: Snap selfie with footballer

Step #3: Smile as you're escorted off the pitch
