On Saturday, Fulham showed the power of football for good by putting a smile on a young fan's face afer a difficult week.
Rhys Porter, 13, has cerebal palsy and has suffered a barage of abuse on social media this week due to his condition after posting videos of himself playing as a goalkeeper for his team.
When his beloved Fulham found out, they invited him to train with their goalkeepers and listed him in their first team squad on the club website.
Then, when Aleksandar Mitrovic opened the scoring away to Bristol City on Saturday, Fulham's players sought out Porter behind the goal to celebrate with him.
After receiving hugs and fist-bumps from his idols as part of their goal celebrations, Porter's memorable week ended on a much more positive note, showing what football should really be all about.

Absolutely amazing work Fulham this is what sport is all about, showing that no matter the circumstances there’s no need for disgusting behaviour against another person. This poor kid has the guts to get up and even though has this disability was able to have fun with his friends and now thanks to these footballers that kid has one up on those vile people and given him memories that will last a life time. Well done
