EPL Invitational 2: Day 1 action sees Archer skittle Aarons

A fantastic opening day of action kicked off the second ePremier League (ePL) Invitational Tournament as Jofra Archer, Ryan Sessegnon and Charlie Taylor all booked wins to progress to the Last 16.

Spencer Owen (West Ham United) 1-3 Ryan Sessegnon (Tottenham Hotspur)

An entertaining clash between two London teams saw Ryan Sessegnon play 90 minutes for the first time in a long while. The match itself was an early frontrunner for the most exciting derby of the tournament, as two Harry Kane goals eventually helped a slightly fortunate Sessegnon progress at the expense of Owen, who was a much-fancied player before the event began.

YouTuber Owen posted a tweet after the event with a screenshot of the statistics in the game, which did favour his team but only served to prove how profligate he had been. Sessegnon himself was happy to admit he’d got lucky to progress.
