An entertaining Round of 16 saw some of England’s finest footballers face off against each other on the virtual pitch for a FIFA 20 Esports event with a difference.

With a fundraising rally the main aim, there was plenty of banter between players from the Premier League, Bundesliga and Women’s Premier League as some of the best players in the Men’s and Women’s (and Under 21’s) England squads did battle for bragging rights in the Round of 16.

The first match-up was a clash between two of the best right backs in the country as Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool took on Max Aarons of Norwich City. While it might have been expected that Alexander-Arnold would take his club form into the game, it was the exact opposite as Aarons put in a convincing performance to win 3-1.

Next up, it was a clash between two of North London’s finest as Tottenham Hotspur left wing-back Ryan Sessegnon took on Arsenal forward Reiss Nelson. The bragging rights would go the way of the former Fulham forward as Sessegnon won out by the same scoreline as in the first game.
