After Jermain Defoe scored twice, Carlos Tevez completed his hat-trick by scoring from a free-kick, bending his shot around the wall and beating Paddy McGuinness on the goalkeeper’s side.

The second England goal was also scored by an Evertonian, as former Lioness Toni Duggan joined Wayne Rooney on the scoresheet with a super finish past Edwin van der Sar.

How the scoring started

England 1-0 World XI (Wayne Rooney)

A gift from the World XI defence but a moment of pure joy for Wayne Rooney as he scored on his return to Old Trafford. The former Manchester United striker was mobbed in hugs from his England team-mates.

Carlos Tevez steals the show

What a night for former Manchester City and Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez, who clearly enjoyed being back at Old Trafford and soaked up the boos that greeted his every touch.

He responded by scoring four goals, pointing to his ear and touching the name on the back of his shirt. Did Tevez realise this was a charity match? I’m not sure but it was great to watch. Soccer Aid heritage.

Total raised for UNICEF

Robbie Williams announces that this year’s Soccer Aid for UNICEF match raised an incredible £15,280,163.

Soccer Aid was played to raise funds for UNICEF – with the goal of providing support for children around the world and contributing towards health care, clean water and vaccination projects.

Every donation up to £5m was doubled thanks to the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation.

Angry Ginge named Player of the Match

A remarkable match from Angry Ginge, who set up Jermain Defoe’s first, cleared David Trezeguet’s shot off the line, made a handful of big blocks and clearances, and almost started a fight with Carlos Tevez.
