Arsenal paid tribute to schoolboy Daniel Anjorin, who was killed in a sword attack in London on Tuesday, during their home game against Bournemouth on Saturday.

The 14-year-old Gunners fan died in hospital after being attacked in Hainault while walking to school.

Arsenal were given permission by the teenager's family to pay their respects and applause rang round the Emirates Stadium after 14 minutes.

Fans at the Premier League match also held up a banner with 'RIP Daniel' written on it.

Anjorin was a pupil at Bancroft's School, who described him as a "true scholar" who had a "positive nature and gentle character".

Marcus Arduini Monzo, 36, has been charged with the schoolboy's murder.
