Henry humiliates YouTuber with stunning skill as KSI is mocked after own goal

The 1998 World Cup winner was one of a number of former professional taking part in the 'Match for Hope' alongside YouTubers and content creators.

And he won his side, who emerged as 6-5 victors, a first-half spot-kick with Sidemen YouTuber Tobi proving to be his latest victim on the football pitch.

Attempting some kick-ups to loop a cross from inside the box, Henry's deft touch caught Tobi's wandering arm and resulted in a penalty.

Elsewhere in the match, YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI found himself at the centre of attention for all the wrong reasons following an unfortunate own goal.

The 31-year-old left fans and teammates stunned after his blunder, which brought about the opening goal of the game.

As captain of his own team, KSI attempted to intercept a cross from fellow streamer iShowSpeed just eight minutes into the game.

However, in a moment of misfortune, he inadvertently passed the ball into his own net in his attempt of clearing it.

Overcome with embarrassment, KSI collapsed to the ground as opposing captain Chunkz pounced on him in celebration.

Despite KSI's early mishap, the match quickly turned into a goal-fest, with both defences struggling to contain the attacking chaos.

By half-time, six goals had already hit the back of the net in a thrilling showdown.

It wasn't just Henry that was the only world class player on show for fans, with Andres Iniesta, Alessandro Del Piero and David Silva all stepping back onto the pitch.

In the dugouts were renowned managers Arsene Wenger and Mauricio Pochettino, who reignited their rivalry having coached Arsenal and Tottenham respectively.

The Match for Hope is an annual charity event that raises funds to support around 70,000 schoolchildren worldwide.

The high-energy fixture brings together social media stars and former footballing greats for an unpredictable 90 minutes.

Last year's edition raised an impressive $8.8million (£7m) for educational projects in Palestine, Sudan, Mali, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Pakistan.

The match ended in a 6-5 win for KSI's team thanks to Adam Waheed's last gasp goal.

In a jovial mood after the match, KSI joked: "I even tried scoring for them, and they still lost!"
