Slaven Bilic gave 18-year-old West Ham fan Matthew a birthday surprise by inviting him to the post-match press conference at Upton Park.

The birthday boy was with the Hammers players in the dressing room before the 1-0 home win against Sunderland and joined Bilic in the press conference where the Croatian manager sent the room into raptures by declaring "we like each other, right?" to which teenager Matthew replied with a nod of approval.

A journalist then asked him how he thinks they did, to which he said: "I think they're a great side and I think they're great players that Slaven has signed." Bilic then said: "I love him even more."
