Tyson Fury sends message to Carlos Tevez after Soccer Aid performance
@Source: mirror.co.uk
Tyson Fury was left lost for words after being blown away by former Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez 's performance at Soccer Aid. The highly anticipated charity match took place at the sold-out Old Trafford in Manchester - with the clash ending 5-4 to World XI FC. Team England got off to the perfect start as Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney scored the fastest ever goal in Soccer Aid history in the fourth minute. On the stroke of half-time, Toni Duggan made it 2-0 to England with a brilliant finish to beat Edwin van der Sar. England threatened to run away with the game after Jermaine Defoe scored just after the break to make it 3-0. However, the game turned on its head when Tevez was brought on, scoring two goals just minutes apart for World XI. Defoe would go on to score his second of the game before Tevez bagged another two to level the contest at 4-4. Heading into the final minutes, Big Zuu stunned fans by scoring a late winner for the World XI. Fury was heavily involved in last night's match after co-managing the England team alongside Rooney. An avid United fan, the former two-time heavyweight champion was left gobsmacked by Tevez's display at Old Trafford. Fury quickly praised the Argentine this morning - despite the latter making a name for himself in the blue half of Manchester during the peak fo his powers. On Monday morning, Fury shared his reaction to the match - which raised millions for charity. In a story uploaded to Instagram , he said: "Morning run in the bay. After a long and busy day yesterday, managing England. We did not get the result we wanted, but everybody played well and played hard and we raised a lot of money for a great cause. "So, I am very proud of everybody who took part. And well done to every body... especially Carlos Tevez! Wow. Banging in hat-tricks and stuff. He has still got it. Had a fantastic day. Big shout out to all the organisers at UNICEF and Soccer Aid, but here we are today, back in the bay, back in good old Lancashire... keeping it real!" However, not everyone was full of praise for Tevez. YouTuber and Manchester United supporter Angry Ginge hit out at the City icon after being on the receiving end of a nasty injury on Sunday evening . In the second half, Ginge - real name Morgan Burtwistle - and Tevez battled for possession on the edge of the England box. The two players went to ground, but replays showed that the former Argentina international was unhappy with the challenge from Angry Ginge and appeared to have a slight kick out at the defender before eventually shaking hands with the 23-year-old. After the game, though, Ginge was seemingly not too pleased with the challenge by Tevez. Sharing a picture of his leg badly cut in the dressing room, the YouTuber and streamer wrote: "Cheers Tevez, t***." Despite the injury and his team losing, Burtwistle received a lot of praise for his efforts on the pitch and was eventually named player-of-the-match by comedian and Manchester City supporter Jason Manford on commentary. During the match, Fury made the headlines after his colourful language forced ITV presenters to issue multiple apologies to viewers on Sunday. The former world heavyweight champion delivered an expletive-filled speech whilst co-managing the England team. Fury exclaimed: "We are England! We are f****** Spartans!" Immediately after Fury's comments, both Alex Scott and fellow presenter Dermot O'Leary were forced to apologise on air for any offence caused by the swearing. The former Lionesses full-back said: "We do apologise for the swearing. It’s Tyson, we don’t know what’s going to happen." The 'Gypsy King' then swore again in the middle of the first half, prompting another apology from ITV, with Scott promising to "have a word with him afterwards".
