Willian surprises young Chelsea fan with impromptu kickabout

Chelsea star Willian left a young fan 'ecstatic' with an impromptu kickabout.

The video, posted on Facebook, shows 11-year-old Daniel McGee playing a game of football with the Brazilian during a visit to Stamford Bridge.

The family had travelled to London from Co Tyrone in Northern Ireland for Daniel's first ever game, staying at the football ground's hotel.

Having already received a quick handshake from Chelsea's Eden Hazard, the 11-year-old ran to Brazilian Willian for an autograph, and then found himself playing keepy-uppy with one of his idols.

Describing the exchange, Daniel's mother Bernie said: "Daniel asks for an autograph... I'm busy getting the camera ready so I can't hear properly, but I just see Willian turn his back on Daniel and I think 'oh no!!'

"But he actually said, 'Do you want to play?' And that's how it happened really. I hit record then.

"I think we are still in shock! I don't think its sunk in with him," she added.

Chelsea are in fourth place in the Premier League after a 2-2 draw with Burnley saw them squander the opportunity to overtake Tottenham.
