WATCH: That's why we love football! Young fan in tears at meeting her 'hero' Mary Earps as Lionesses star takes time with supporters after Man Utd's win over Tottenham

United closed to within four points of Women's Super League leaders Chelsea with a 4-0 win at Spurs on Sunday. After securing the victory, England keeper Earps was seen engaging with supporters and one moment stood out when she embraced a young fan. The youngster, who was crying and said "I love you" to the Lionesses star, received a big hug from the 30-year-old in a touching moment.

United's win and Chelsea's 4-1 loss to Arsenal breathed fresh life into the WSL title race. The Gunners are now level on points with the defending champions, the Blues, and Manchester City and United are three and four points back respectively.

Earps' United side are back in WSL action next Sunday at home to fifth-placed Liverpool in what is the final round of fixtures before the winter break.
