Moment grandad burst into tears as he watched Everton FC's goal

This was the moment a grandad burst into tears when Everton scored to help them secure their place in the Premier League.

George Dann, from Walton, was watching the tense match on Sunday at his granddaughter Leanne's house, with her partner Paul and their two children Elsa and Emmi, his wife Celia and grandson Joseph. The Blues were fighting to avoid relegation against Bournemouth at Goodison.

The family managed to capture the 87-year-old's reaction when Abdoulaye Doucoure's scored a superb strike from the edge of the box. George can be seen on his feet and cheering with his hands in the air, cheering alongside his family.
