A young Gunner was picked at random to be the mascot for his favourite football team.

Seven-year-old Zach Abrahams walked out on to the pitch at Dean Court with his favourite player Alexis Sanchez before Arsenal’s away game against Bournemouth on Tuesday (December 3).

Zach, from Totteridge, was selected at random from over 34,000 young members of the team’s Junior Gunners fan club.

On “the greatest day ever”, Zach met manager Arsène Wenger and entered Arsenal’s changing room where he met the entire Arsenal squad.

His father James said: “I’ve had some amazing experiences with Arsenal.

“I was at Villarreal for the Champions League Final and I was there when we won the league at Spurs, but seeing my son lead the team out with Sanchez is the only moment that has beaten that feeling.”
