Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen took on Mauricio Pochettino in a special free-kick challenge for the Sky Ocean Rescue campaign - but who prevailed?
Spurs striker Kane and set-piece specialist Eriksen lined up against manager Pochettino and assistant boss Jesus Perez for a skills battle with a difference to mark a new partnership between Sky and the Premier League that aims to tackle single-use plastic at football grounds.
Players and staff each had five attempts to knock down plastic bottles placed at tricky angles around the goal - and a competitive affair saw some "dodgy decisions" as well as a glorious left-footed chip from one contender.

The #PassonPlastic initiative is part of the Sky Ocean Rescue campaign that launched in 2017 to put the spotlight on ocean health and inspire people to make small everyday changes that together make a huge difference.
The Premier League has now joined Sky in committing to go single-use plastic free by 2020 - and Tottenham are one of the first clubs to pledge support at their new state-of-the-art, environmentally-friendly stadium by calling time on products such as plastic straws, stirrers, cutlery and bags.
