Oscar meets idol over homework assignment

A young Liverpool fan from the Island's seen his dream come true - after a Merseyside star offered to help with his homework!

Oscar Bridson was asked to write something about words ending in "ng" - and he chose Liverpool striker Mo Salah as "king".

His mum's tweet about the assignment caught the star's eye, and Oscar was invited over to Anfield to meet his idol at the weekend.

Mum Sarah-Marie Bridson said the trip, Oscar's first ever Permiership match, had been unforgettable.
