Today's official LFC mascot, Joshua Jackson, achieved another goal on Sunday as the hashtag #JoshuaBeatingCancer trended worldwide on Twitter.

The eight-year-old, who is battling against leukaemia for the second time in his life, will lead out the Liverpool team against Aston Villa today alongside Reds captain Steven Gerrard.

Before that landmark moment, though, the youngster earned social media fame as Liverpool supporters around the world urged users to tweet the supportive hashtag.
