Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo put his burglary ordeal behind him and made a young fan's day after their late win away at Arsenal on New Year's Day.
Cancelo, 27, was attacked in his own home last Thursday by four intruders who made off with stolen jewellery from his property.
The Portugal star, who was in the house with partner Daniela and their baby daughter when the burglary took place, revealed the extent of his facial injuries in a post on Instagram, branding the culprits 'cowards' while vowing to 'overcome' the ordeal.
