Ryan Sessegnon triumphed in the opening match of the second edition of the ePremier League Invitational tournament, as Tottenham Hotspur won 3-1 against Spencer Owen, representing West Ham United.
Sessegnon took the lead in the opening EA SPORTS FIFA 20 match through Harry Kane, only for YouTuber and West Ham supporter Owen to level on the stroke of half-time through Manuel Lanzini.
A second for Kane restored Sessegnon's advantage before a Son Heung-min strike made it 3-1, setting up a last-16 tie with Norwich City's Max Aarons on Thursday.
"Part of me wants him to win the whole thing because it means I lost to the winner!" Owen said after being knocked out.
"But if he does then I'll feel like I should have won the whole thing, because I just battered him for 90 minutes! And, secondly, it's Spurs!"
