A technological error was to blame after a video of the Sidemen Charity Match on YouTube appeared to have been blocked by the Premier League, Daily Star Sport<\/b> understands. <\/p>\n
The top-flight came in for huge stick on social media on Monday as X users noticed that a stream of the match, which was held at the London Stadium earlier this month, was blocked due to "copyright reasons."<\/p>\n
A message read: "This video contains content from FA Premier League, who has blocked it on copyright grounds." A post on social media was shared by one gutted viewer who was unable to watch the full live stream of the game.<\/p>\n

However, Daily Star Sport<\/b> understands that the block on the content was as a result of a technological error to do with YouTube, and not because of a copyright issue, as the message read.<\/p>\n
The stream, which was not impacted at the time it was live, is now back online for viewers to enjoy. <\/p>\n
The Sidemen, whose starting line-up at the London Stadium included KSI, JME, Wroetoshaw, Calfreezy, Lazarbeam, Mr Beast, Behzinga, TBJZL, Zerkaa, Minminter and Vikkstar123, ran out 8-5 winners against the YouTube All-Stars. <\/p>\n

The match, which saw 62,000 tickets sold, generated an impressive \u00a32.4million for charity, with KSI and Logan Paul donating \u00a3250,000 themselves.<\/p>\n
It was the fifth charity match involving the Sidemen, who are now on a three match winning streak, adding to victories in 2018 and 2022. They also won the first fixture in 2016, running out 7-2 victors.<\/p>\n

The YouTube All-Stars secured their first win in 2017 but have been unable to replicate that success since. This year's YouTube All-Stars included Niko Omilana, Sean \u201cJacksepticeye\u201d McLoughlin, Jidion Adams, Max Fosh and Darren \u201cIShowSpeed\u201d Watkins Jr.<\/p>\n
