Young Tottenham fan Ryley Keys scores penalty at Spurs despite being 'told he would never walk'

A young Tottenham fan had the opportunity to take a penalty against former Spurs goalkeeper Pat Jennings during half-time of the north London derby.

The heart-warming moment came during the half-time break after Harry Kane had put Spurs 2-0 up in the opening 45 minutes. Arsenal's evening got worse after Rob Holding was sent off when the defender picked up a second booking for a foul on Heung-Min Son.

The young boy, Ryley Keys, was born three months prematurely, diagnosed with cerebral palsy and told he would never walk. After finishing his penalty in style, the home crowd responded with a huge cheer around the stadium for Keys.
