Soccer Aid LIVE: England vs World XI result and final score after Kem Cetinay and Robbie Keane goals
Kem Cetinay created Soccer Aid history to inspire the World XI to a fifth successive victory over England in the 2023 version of the charity football match.
The former Love Island star combined with former Tottenham striker Robbie Keane to blow the Three Lions away in the second half at Old Trafford.
After the drama of comedian Lee Mack’s winning penalty for the World XI last year, there was a clear winner in this year’s game.
Usain Bolt gave the World XI the lead, but England stormed back in the second half thanks to Sex Education star Asa Butterfield and Paul Scholes capitalising on questionable goalkeeping from UFC champion Leon Edwards.
The biggest charity football match in the world, which raised £14,619,005 for Unicef by full-time, saw new Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino back in the dugout ahead of his return to the club game next month.
Keane would then hit a quick-fire double, forcing England manager and rapper Stormzy to gamble, which left gaps open for the World XI to expose.
And Cetinay would race clear with 10 minutes remaining, running the length of the pitch before slamming home the fourth.
The goal moved him clear as the all-time top scorer with five strikes, while it also condemned England to a fifth successive defeat in the annual charity football match. Relive all the action from Old Trafford below:

What a second-half performance.

GOAL! It’s another for the World XI and it’s another for Robbie Keane, 2-3!
Paddy McGuinness couldn’t cope with the chaos inside the box.
And the ball fell nicely for Keane, who adjusted his body and chipped it into the roof of the net with McGuinness scrambling on the turf.

GOAL!
Robbie Keane with a thunderbolt, in off the woodwork as it nestled into the top corner, superb!
It was classic Keane, the way he got it out of his feet and opened the body up. Cetinay is lively too, the World XI are on top with the game level at 2-2.

GOAL ENGLAND!
It’s a quick-fire double for England and Paul Scholes gets the goal, hammered low into the corner. Superb. 2-1.
That will be the end for Scholes though, he’s picked up a knock shortly after. Stormzy is straight out the dugout to help his friend, who receives a standing ovation.

England are level, Asa Butterfield has got the goal and it comes with a bit of luck.

That was a competitive half of football but the World XI look a bit sharper in the final third.
Bolt’s pace is the difference of course, but the vision from Totti and Beck’s ability to dribble, twist and turn make a huge difference.
Can England turn this around after the break?
