Virtual victory boosts Britain's health service

Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Diogo Jota won the ePremier League Invitational title for his club on Saturday after beating Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold with a golden goal in the final, which ended 1-1 in regulation time.

A number of top-flight players had signed up to represent their clubs in the virtual tournament to generate funds for Britain's National Health Service (NHS) during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Raul Jimenez scored the winning goal for Wolves and Jota in the FIFA 20 match after Gini Wijnaldum put Liverpool ahead late in the first half, only for Adama Traore to level the scores after the interval. The winner's prize fund will be donated to the PlayersTogether initiative, created by Premier League players to generate funds for the NHS.
