# West Bromwich Albion: Fans loved Romaine Sawyers v Kyle Edwards on FIFA 20

**In the [absence of actual football](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11957036/coronavirus-hits-football-qa-what-you-need-to-know-so-far) due to the coronavirus pandemic, plenty of West Brom fans were instead enjoying a virtual face-off between two members of the Baggies’ squad.**

Albion’s official website [wba.co.uk](https://www.wba.co.uk/news/2020/may/watch-sawyers-and-edwards-go-head-to-head-at-fifa/) hosted a FIFA 20 contest between Romaine Sawyers and Kyle Edwards, who [played as Liverpool and Barcelona respectively](https://twitter.com/WBA/status/1258401381028900870), with updates being posted on the club’s official Twitter channel [@WBA](https://twitter.com/WBA/status/1258401381028900870).

Any West Brom fans hoping for a closely-fought contest between the duo would be ultimately disappointed as Sawyers [romped to a 5-0 victory](https://twitter.com/WBA/status/1258401381028900870) over his team-mate, with [four of those goals](https://twitter.com/WBA/status/1258399046542266368) coming in a lopsided first half.

After the virtual match, [@WBA](https://twitter.com/WBA/status/1258440741505961987) on Twitter shared clips of the duo’s in-game reactions as well as the key moments of the match, while Edwards tweeted a tongue-in-cheek apology to his Baggies team-mate afterwards (via [@KyleEdwardo](https://twitter.com/KyleEdwardo/status/1258409908984262667)).

The FIFA battle elicited plenty of reaction from these West Brom fans on Twitter, with some jokingly calling for Edwards’ [recently-agreed contract extension](https://www.wba.co.uk/news/2020/may/albion-take-up-edwards-option/) to be revoked. Check out some of the best replies below:
