England and Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe says "it was special" to walk out at Wembley with Bradley Lowery.

The five-year-old is battling terminal cancer neuroblastoma and led out the England team during Sunday's World Cup qualifier against Lithuania.

Defoe said: "You鈥檝e got to sort of try and control your emotions because obviously I鈥檝e got to play a football match and he turned round and cuddled me and that and I was like just tried to keep it together sort of thing but no, it was amazing.

"Everyone knows the sort of relationship we鈥檝e got. It鈥檚 sad but hopefully he enjoyed the game."

It was Defoe's first England appearance since late 2013 and scored the opening goal in the 21st minute.

England beat Lithuania 2-0 meaning they edge closer to World Cup 2018 qualification.
