A young Liverpool fan who got knocked out after running into a lamppost said it was "really worth it" because he got to meet his hero, Mo Salah.

Louis Fowler ran straight into the post as he and his brother, Isaac, chased after the Liverpool forward's Bentley, as it left the club's Melwood training ground on Saturday.

He was left with a broken and bloodied nose and was drifting in and out of consciousness when Salah turned up at his home near the training ground to check he was OK.

Louis told ITV News he "bounced off" the lamppost when he ran head-on into it and was "briefly knocked out".
