Bradley Lowery: Terminally ill Sunderland fan appears as Everton mascot

A terminally ill five-year-old Sunderland fan has appeared as an Everton mascot for the visit of Manchester City in the Premier League.

Bradley Lowery, from Blackhall Colliery near Hartlepool, was cheered as he was carried onto the pitch by Toffees striker Romelu Lukaku on Sunday.

Before kick-off, Bradley kicked a ball into the Goodison Park net.

Bradley was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 2013 but his mother has confirmed he "will lose his fight".

In December, Gemma Lowery announced all three options presented by a consultant would not cure Bradley's illness. Around £700,000 was raised to fund treatment in the USA.
