This is definitely the loveliest story you'll read all day, and probably for the rest of the month.
Match of the Day has given a seriously ill 5-year-old boy the Goal of the Month award for December after he took a penalty during the warm-up for his beloved Sunderland's match against Chelsea on December 14.
The match saw him meet up with Sunderland players like Jermain Defoe as well as the likes of Diego Costa from Chelsea.
Bradley Lowery, who has neuroblastoma, was named joint winner of the award with Manchester United's Henrikh Mkhitaryan by MOTD2 host Mark Chapman, with the show even creating a computer recreation of Bradley's goal.
"He gives [Chelsea goalkeeper] Asmir Begovic the eyes, Begovic goes that way and Bradley goes straight down the middle," Chapman commentated.
A campaign was launched to give Bradley, from Blackhall in County Durham, the award, and his mum Gemma has shared his delight at the gesture.

"Brad just woke up and watched #MOTD2 and found out he got #goalofthemonth he is over the moon thank you @BBCMOTD thank you @SunderlandAFC," she wrote on the official Twitter page for Bradley's campaign.
He was diagnosed with cancer in 2013 and more than £700,000 was raised last year for treatment in the US, including £200,000 from Everton Football Club. His family were later told that treatment would only give him more time.

Bradley also attended last year's Sports Personality of the Year event and received more than 250,000 Christmas cards after his story made headlines.
