Liverpool players wear Glen Johnson masks to celebrate defender's 30th birthday

A number of Liverpool's players decided to celebrate teammate Glen Johnson's 30th birthday on Sunday by wearing masks of his face.

Philippe Coutinho, Joe Allen, Lucas Leiva, Fabio Borini, Brad Jones and Sebastian Coates turned up for a surprise bash for the England international, who does not turn 30 until Saturday.

Goalkeeper Jones posted a photo of the group wearing Johnson masks on Twitter, with the message: "Where is the real Glen Johnson???"

The group, who were joined by their partners, took part in the celebrations after earning their first victory of the Premier League campaign in the form of a 2-1 victory over Southampton.
