Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola met terminally ill five-year-old Bradley Lowery at Goodison Park on Sunday and gave him a signed shirt.

Young Bradley, from Blackhall Colliery near Hartlepool, is a Sunderland fan but was the Everton mascot for Sunday’s game.

He was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma in 2013, and Everton previously pledged £200,000 to help his treatment when they played the Black Cats earlier this season.

INSPIRATION: Pep Guardiola presents the signed City shirt to brave Bradley

City fans held aloft a banner that read “Cancer has no colours, one Bradley Lowery” as Bradley kicked the ball before the game.

He was carried out onto the pitch by Toffees striker Romelu Lukaku, and he also met City boss Guardiola, who presented the brave fan with a signed shirt.
