Wilfried Zaha was left with disgust on Wednesday after losing to Raheem Sterling at FIFA 20 in the first round of the Premier League esports tournament.
Lacking real football due to the coronavirus pandemic, Sterling’s Manchester City defeated Zaha’s Crystal Palace in a 5-4 thriller, each scoring with their own virtual players.
But it was Sergio Aguero’s tap-in – played over the goal to give City a 4-3 lead – that made both stars laugh as they argued full-time.

Wilfried Zaha said Sky Sports: “He actually stood in front of the goal and put it backwards. I’m not complaining, we both know it’s disgusting, you have the win. ‘
Raheem Sterling replied, “Listen Wilf, Crystal Palace is about to win the competition, it’s the last minute of the game, you’re on target, Andros Townsend is next to you. To win the competition, you’re going to pass the ball, right? ‘
WZ: “You didn’t pass it on the side, you gave it back.
“How dare you compare the two, but you have the winner, I can’t complain, but you said” pass it on the side “, Aguero was not on the side. ”
RS: “I’m just going on my Instagram now and asking my followers to type” disgusting “and” sweaty. ” I’m going to get that trending. ‘
WZ“You’re kidding, you’re proud of yourself and sat there smugly.”
RS: ‘I am proud of myself. I won and I can go to bed tonight and sleep peacefully. You will not be happy if you sleep tonight.
WZ: ‘I’ll be fine.’
