Soccer Aid 2019: World XI managed by Piers Morgan and Harry Redknapp win Stamford Bridge charity match

Piers Morgan and Harry Redknapp's World XI won Soccer Aid on penalties, narrowly beating the England team.

Celebrities and sporting heroes took to the pitch at Stamford Bridge for this year's charity match.

The celebrities taking part in the Unicef game took turns taking penalties, with Billy Wingrove, Kem Cetinay and DJ Locksmith all scoring goals for the World side.

Ben Shephard scored for England but Joe Wicks and Mark Wright failed, leaving all the pressure on Lee Mack.

His attempt was stopped by goalkeeper Nicky Byrne, leaving World XI to win the match.

Big names including Michael Owen, Eric Cantona, Jamie Redknapp, Niall Horan, Didier Drogba and Sir Mo Farah took part in the annual match.

Usain Bolt, James McAvoy and Martin Compston were also involved.

Jeremy Lynch got the England side off to a winning start by scoring two goals.

The football freestyler scored around 20 minutes into the game, then managed another goal not long afterwards.

However, Usain Bolt closed the gap when he scored a goal for the World XI.

The Olympic champion sprinter scored shortly before half time, making it 2-1.

The game at Stamford Bridge was officially started by Hollywood star Tom Hanks, who has been promoting his film Toy Story 4 in London.

Before blowing the whistle, Hanks told presenter Dermot O'Leary he was an Aston Villa fan, adding: "I will be back for the FA Cup next year... don't laugh.

"If they need me to whack in a couple of corner kicks I'll be standing by."

Mr Hanks also announced that Soccer Aid 2019, which will raise money for children around the world, had so far raised £707,296.

Women are taking part for the first time this year, with ex-internationals Rachel Yankey and Katie Chapman signed up to the England squad.

Ms Yankey has told how she once shaved her hair off so she could play on a boys' football team.

Speaking before the game, she said: "The first football team I joined was a boys' team and obviously girls weren't allowed to play in the same team as boys, so I shaved my hair short.

"The manager knew and he just thought it was wrong that girls couldn't play and he wanted to give me an opportunity," she said.
