Neal Maupay has beaten Aston Villa's John McGinn in the opening tie of the ePremier League Invitational Tournament first round.
The Brighton & Hove Albion striker won 6-1 on the EA SPORTS FIFA 20 game, with the Frenchman playing a starring role as himself.
Maupay scored the first two goals before Glenn Murray ran riot with another four strikes.
"That's me finished on FIFA now - I'm not playing again!" McGinn joked.
FIFA retirement confirmed for @JMcGinn7. 😩😂 #AVFC pic.twitter.com/ehrDNh2X01
