9-year-old Everton fan with cerebral palsy scores a goal at Goodison Park
Nine-year-old Everton fan George enjoyed a special day on Sunday, when his favorite football club allowed him onto the Goodison Park pitch to score a goal after being welcomed as a guest of Gerard Deulofeu.
George has cerebral palsy, and was welcomed to Everton's match against Swansea City on Sunday after accepting an invitation from the winger.

The Toffees dropped the match by a 2-1 score, but to George, the result didn't matter nearly as much as the chance to score his own goal on the Goodison field. The boy was seen smiling from ear to ear after knocking in a score during halftime.
Congratulations to George, the real winner of Everton's match.
