A young Chelsea fan at Wembley could hardly contain his excitement as Thibaut Courtois picked him out and handed over his match-worn shirt. 

The goalkeeper approached a collection of Blues supporters before picking out the fan who was wearing his replica keeper shirt a few rows back. 

The youngster was then carried down to collect his new prized possession and raised it in the air with a massive grin on his face as the Chelsea fans cheered around him.

The Chelsea supporters cheered as Courtois made the fan's day at Wembley even more special

With the stadium mostly empty, Courtois was one of the last on the pitch and after his generous gesture applauded the crowd before making his way down the tunnel.

It had looked like the Belgian stopper was going to keep a clean sheet until Michy Batshuayi diverted a Tottenham equaliser past him late on. 

But Marco Alonso popped up to score his second of the game, in the 88th minute, snatching all three points for Chelsea. 

Antonio Conte's side were on the back foot for large parts of the game but showed a steely resolve to bounce back from their opening day defeat.

Courtois had looked assured all afternoon, keeping out attempts from Dele Alli and Harry Kane, but he could do nothing to stop the own goal. 

It mattered little in the end, and just when the young fan might have expected the Spurs equaliser to ruin his day, he was presented no only with a dramatic late winner, but also a memory to treasure from Courtois after the final whistle.  

His new shirt will take a bit of growing into and he might opt to wear his replica when Chelsea take on Everton at Stamford Bridge next Sunday.
