The Premier League side ran out winners after the thrilling match ended 8-7 in their favour.

Other than the goalkeeper, Miguel Gallardo, the team boosted some of the most recognisable players from the Premier League over the last 20 years.

Former West Ham, Chelsea and Liverpool star Joe Cole was the star of the team and picked up man of the match due to his performance.

Cole, 41, also managed to score a brilliant goal which came from some individual magic as he managed to round his marker before firing home.

The 41-year-old laced his boots back on for the first time in a while as he is usually seen working as a pundit covering the Premier League across multiple networks.
