Young Sunderland mascot Bradley Lowery shakes hands with Everton player Ashley Williams prior to the Premier League match between Sunderland and Everton at Stadium of Light on September 12, 2016 in Sunderland, England.
Everton have donated £200,000 to a young Sunderland fan who is seeking life-saving treatment in America to fight against cancer.
Five-year-old Bradley Lowery, from Blackhall in County Durham, was the Black Cats' mascot before their game with Everton on Monday night.
Bradley is suffering from neuroblastoma for a second time, meaning he needs £700,000 to afford the necessary treatment in the United States.
And after the match, it was announced the Toffees have given £200,000 towards that total.
The sum raised on the fundraising page so far was at nearly £469,000 at the time of writing.
The club have also invited Bradley and his family to the return game at Goodison Park on February 25.
Having been given the all-clear in 2014 after his initial diagnosis a year earlier, doctors found cancer again during one of his check-ups.
Bradley led Sunderland captain Jermain Defoe out on the pitch before the Blues' 3-0 win.
Both sets of supporters also chanted his name in the fifth minute of the match, in honour of his fight against the disease.
