The Game4Ukraine at Stamford Bridge finished as an entertaining 2-2 draw as money was raised for those affected by Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine.

Mark Noble and Darijo Srna scored for Team Zinchenko while Clarence Seedorf and William Gallas bagged for Team Shevchenko.

Oleksandr Zinchenko was not expected to take part in a playing capacity, as he has not featured during Arsenal's pre-season due to injury, but made a short cameo from kick-off in the charity match he helped to organise.

A minute's silence and video address from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy preceded kick-off and an entertaining game, which also featured a 15-minute cameo from Chelsea's Ukraine international Mykahilo Mudryk.

Arsenal legend Arsene Wenger managed Zinchenko's team, while Chelsea Women manager Emma Hayes took charge of Andriy Shevchenko's side.

Some of the other retired professionals on show included Gerard Pique, Fabio Cannavaro, Robert Pires, Gilberto Silva and Jack Wilshere.
