What happened between KSI and Speed in the Sidemen vs YouTube Allstars charity match at Charlton

Entertainment sensation KSI was brutally tackled just seventeen seconds into a charity match at Charlton Athletic's stadium, the Valley, in a Sideman Vs YouTube Allstars match this afternoon.

Olajide Olatunji, more commonly known as JJ or KSI, was perhaps the most famous player in the match that raised funds for the Charlton Athletic Community Trust and Young Minds charity, and took to the pitch alongside other world famous stars such as MrBeast, Chunkz and rapper JME.

KSI made his name as a Youtuber with FIFA videos and has since become a successful music artist and boxer too.

This was the fourth edition of the charity match, something arranged by a group of popular Youtuber's called the Sidemen which includes Miniminter, Zerkaa, TBJZL, Behzinga, Vikkstar123, KSI and WroeToShaw.

Along with other internet celebrities and entertainment hits, the game reached an audience of over 2.5million people at one time as it was streamed on Youtube and fans weren't left disappointed. Just moments into the game American Youtuber IShowSpeed - more commonly known as Speed - wiped out KSI with a brutal slide tackle.

Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg was the main official for the game and quickly gave a foul and luckily KSI wasn't injured, but it did get the sell-out crowd of 27,000 fans off their feet immediately.

Spectators were not left short-changed come full-time either, the final score was 8-7 with the Sidemen taking the win - Miniminter bagging a hat-trick.
