Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling paid tribute to Damary Dawkins after his passing on Sunday.
Sterling dedicated his second goal against the Czech Republic to the late Crystal Palace junior.
The 13-year-old was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in 2014 and passed away on Sunday despite undergoing a stem cell transplant in the new year.
Sterling had made a huge effort on social media to appeal for stem cell donors to help and paid a touching tribute to Dawkins after he put England 3-0 up at Wembley.
The Manchester City star lifted up his shirt to reveal a commemorative shirt for the schoolboy with the words: "May your soul rest in peace."
Speaking after the match, Sterling said: "He was a kid I was trying to help.
"We thought we found a donor and unfortunately it didn't match and he sadly passed away.
"So I thought I had to do something for the family, give them something to smile about."
