Sawyers challenged Edwards to a game on the virtual pitch after Edwards called out the midfielder during an Albion Q+A.

The club went as far as setting up a pre-match press conference after the tie was set-up via Zoom, before the pair went head to head on Thursday.

It was a day to forget for Edwards however, who saw Sawyers runaway to victory, beating the young winger 5-0.

Sawyers, taking control of Premier League leaders Liverpool put in a devastating first-half performance, leading 4-0 against Edwards' Barcelona side.

There was only a single strike between the sides in the second period, but the damage was done - as Sawyers coasted to victory.

More than 15,000 fans tuned in to watch the game live on Twitch - however, chances of a rematch appear slim between the pair, following such a comprehensive result.
