Covid-19 didn't stop Nathan!

A young Irish boy has gone viral for his goalkeeping training video.

Nathan Fanagan from Tallaght in County Dublin was staying at home to help stop the spread of Coronavirus.

He was filmed in his back garden kicking the ball off the garden fence and rushing back to his goals to keep it out of the back of the net.

The video of him was posted at 3pm today by his mum, Sarah-Jayne and so far it's been retweeted by Manchester United keeper David de Gea and watched more than 1.9 million times.

It's also been shared by ESPN, Sky Sports and Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel.
