A young Chelsea fan's dreams came true when he had an impromptu kick-about with Brazilian soccer star Willian.

Daniel McGee, 11, had travelled from Northern Ireland to Stamford Bridge to see the team play for the first time.

Having seen a 2-2 draw with Burnley on Monday (April 22), he was waiting in full kit for a taxi with his mother outside the Millennium & Copthorne Hotels on Wednesday (April 24) morning when his yellow ball rolled over to a small crowd.

Unbeknown to Daniel, midfield Willian Borges emerged from the group and flicked up the ball before beginning a game of keepy-uppy with the young super-fan.

Daniel's mother Bernie is heard saying: ''Kick it back to him, kick it back to him, go on....he's going to pass it to you, oh, this is brilliant.''

Speaking after, Bernie said: "Thank you Willian for making my son's dreams come true. We came over from Ireland so Daniel could see his first Chelsea game. This was the icing on the cake.''
