Soccer Aid: England beat Rest of the World 3-1 Published Sunday, May 27 2012, 5:25pm EDT | By Tom Eames |(DIGITAL SPY)

The England team were crowned champions of the bi-annual charity match, after beating the Rest of the World team 3-1.


The Rest of the World team - featuring the likes of Hollywood stars Will Ferrell, Edward Norton and Gerard Butler - took the lead through Sergio Pizzorno in the first 15 minutes.



The Kasabian musician scored a chipped finish against former England keeper David Seaman.

England eventually equalised later in the second half after Graeme Le Saux's shot deflected off Teddy Sheringham.


They soon after took the lead when co-creator Jonathan Wilkes scored his third Soccer Aid goal with a finish from a tight angle.

Blackpool player Kevin Phillips completed the victory with a well-struck shot just outside the area.

During the match, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay was stretchered off after a foul by Sheringham. Olly Murs and Roy Keane were also taken off through injury.
