The game was an absolute thriller, with Joe Cole firing England ahead. Eden Hazard, however, scored on his return to the Bridge via a free kick before Alessandro Del Piero put the World XI ahead after a beautiful assist from Usain Bolt.

White drew England back level before the break. After half-time, Lampard's side ran away with the game courtesy of goals from Steven Bartlett and Jermain Defoe.

Billy Wingrove pulled one back for World XI, but Theo Walcott scored a late lob to round off the 6-3 result after Bartlett had gotten his second of the game.

The retired midfielder, who struggled with injuries, shimmied his way past Cech, leaving the legendary Chelsea goalkeeper in his wake.

The 32-year-old then squared off a pass across the goal to set up White with an easy tap-in. The Lionesses legend became the first woman to score at a Soccer Aid match.

Since its inception in 2006, Soccer Aid has raised £106 million. Of this, £15mil was raised in the 2024 event.
