England had a shaky start with a 2-1 deficit in the second half, but they managed to come back to snatch a 3-2 victory after goals from Mark Wright and Jermain Defoe.
Many celebrities and legendary footballers took part in this game, but Ben Shephard stole the spotlight after his dangerous tackle on former Manchester United player Dimitar Berbatov. Shephard has made history after seeing a red card in the Soccer Aid 2016 game. Furthermore, the 41-year-old Good Morning Britain and Tipping Point presenter has become the first person ever to be red-carded in a charity match.
The Premier League official Jon Moss did not think twice about Shephard's 53rd-minute challenge on Berbatov, instantly sending off the English presenter.
Harsh, or fair? @benshephard sees red after a last ditch challenge on Dimitar Berbatov. #SoccerAid https://t.co/3gDS0lnc8E

Do you think Moss's decision was correct in sending off Shephard?
