A "dream came true" for an 11-year-old West Ham fan who was the mascot for his beloved team and favourite player on Sunday.

Jenson Baldry, of Worlingham, near Beccles, walked out with Michail Antonio of West Ham at the London Stadium on Sunday.

Jenson had waited a long time for his special day and in 2018 even watched his older brother Harrison walk out as mascot with the Hammers striker.

Jenson's mum, Amy Baldry said: "It was a lovely feeling watching Jenson walk out onto the pitch and seeing his smile afterwards was amazing.

"Antonio is our family's favourite player so to see him score, after both my sons were his mascot, was extra special and a dream come true.

"We all enjoyed the match as a family with his mum, dad and brother all there with him to enjoy the day."

Jenson had just celebrated his 11th birthday before he took to the pitch with his favourite player.
