North vs South - it's perhaps the fiercest argument between the people of England and this week we've started a fresh debate based on football. We have assembled two dream teams - one featuring players from the Premier League clubs in the South of England and the other featuring Northern-based stars. On Monday, Rob Draper revealed who he'd select in the Southern XI and on Tuesday, Joe Bernstein did likewise for the North. We then sent the All-star teams to our friends at Football Manager, who have simulated the match. Here's what happened... So, now we know: the South has the edge over the North for footballing talent. Alexis Sanchez and Harry Kane were the heroes as the Southern All-Stars came out on top in our simulated clash between the Premier League's best players from the North and South. Despite falling behind less than a minute into the game to a stunning finish from Sergio Aguero, who was supported up front by Wayne Rooney, the Southern XI were able to mount a fightback with a brace from Sanchez either side of Harry Kane's second-half goal. SCROLL DOWN TO WATCH A VIDEO OF THE SIMULATED MATCH . Alexis Sanchez of Arsenal (left) starred in our simulated All-Star game, while Spurs striker Harry Kane (right) also scored in the match . Manchester City hotshot Sergio Aguero gave the Northern combined XI the lead after less than a minute, but his team were still beaten . The Southern All-Stars boasted Harry Kane up front while the Northern side was led by Sergio Aguero and Wayne Rooney . The Southerners saw less of the ball and created fewer chances but were more clinical in front of goal than the Northern All-Stars, who twice hit the woodwork. After Aguero's early strike, the South battled back and went close through Morgan Schneiderlin and John Terry. Their pressure was rewarded when Sanchez linked up with Kane and buried his shot  from inside the area. Kane added his name to the scoresheet in the second half with a well-taken finish following some lovely build-up play by Eden Hazard, Santi Cazorla and Schneiderlin. Sanchez then rounded off the victory with a clinical, powerful effort 20 minutes from time. The Northern team were made to rue missed opportunities after creating three clear-cut chances to the South's two but didn't convert them . Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez is the stand-out in Football Manager's player ratings with 6.1 while Martin Skrtel was least effective for the North . The Northerners enjoyed marginally more possession than their rivals and won 13 corners but failed to kick on after Aguero's opener . The Southerners’ manager Rob Draper will be delighted by his team's smooth transitions from defence to attack, and their elaborate passing play in the middle of the park. It could well have been a different story, however, had Joe Bernstein's Northern side been able to convert their chances. Martin Skrtel will be unhappy with his performance in the centre of defence too. The men in red looked threatening on the flanks, particularly through Raheem Sterling, but far too often they failed to capitalise on his excellent service. Aguero conspired to miss from six yards out when unmarked in injury-time to sum up their profligacy. That meant a comfortable margin of victory by two goals for the Southern All-Stars and bragging rights over their Northern neighbours. But, somehow, we suspect the old debate over which half of England reigns supreme will continue. MATCH HIGHLIGHTS (SCROLL DOWN TO WATCH A VIDEO OF THE SIMULATION) 1st minute: GOAL!!! The pre-match hype is immediately justified as Sergio Aguero picks up a short pass from James McCarthy, dribbles past Jose Fonte and curls the ball past Thibaut Courtois to make it 1-0 to the Northern All-Stars. Aguero (centre, in red) slots home the opening goal in the very first minute of the All-Stars clash . 8th minute: A Santi Cazorla corner finds the head of John Terry but his effort is fractionally too high. Santi Cazorla's pinpoint corner finds captain John Terry at the near post but the Chelsea legend's header clears the crossbar . 10th minute: Raheem Sterling forces Courtois into a decent save with a powerful effort from the edge of the area. 20th minute: A well-worked move by the Southern All-Stars culminates in a Morgan Schneiderlin volley from 25 yards that whistles over Joe Hart’s crossbar. 21st minute: A Cazorla free-kick is deflected out for a corner. The delivery from the Spaniard is poor and the Northern All-Stars break with Sterling. After beating two defenders, he elects to try and curl one in from the 18-yard mark but his effort drifts wide of the goal. 29th minute: GOAL!!! A misplaced pass from Aguero gives away possession when the Northern All-Stars look threatening. The Southern All-Stars take full advantage with a direct move down the right flank. The ball finds its way to Kane, who plays a pinpoint pass to Sanchez to calmly slot the ball into the bottom corner and level the match. Sanchez (top, in blue) slots past Joe Hart in the Northern XI's goal to score the equaliser . 36th minute: Some clever interplay between Rooney and Aguero opens up the Southern All-Star defence . 39th minute: More good play from Aguero and Rooney creates a half-chance for the Northern All-Stars but the Argentina striker drags his shot wide. Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin attempts an ambitious volley from 25 yards but it meets the same fate as Terry's header . HALF-TIME: Southern All-Stars 1-1 Northern All-Stars . Substitution: Michael Carrick is replaced by Yaya Toure. 46th minute: The Northern All-Stars very nearly take the lead straight from kick-off after more good work on the right from Sterling. He slips the ball into Rooney, whose shot is turned onto the post by Courtois. 57th minute: Substitution: David Silva makes way for Ashley Young. 60th minute: Substitution: Phil Jones replaces Ryan Shawcross after the Stoke man takes a knock from a robust Alexis Sanchez challenge. The Northern All-Stars have used all their substitutions. 66th minute: Double Substitution: Nathaniel Clyne and Nemanja Matic are subbed off for Branislav Ivanovic and Fabian Delph. Following the substitutions, the Northern All-Stars push forward with Toure giving the team more purpose in the middle of the park. Toure's raking through ball is met by Sterling who thinks he has made it 2-1 only for the linesman to raise his flag. 68th minute: GOAL!!! Courtois sends the resulting free-kick long and the Southern All-Stars work the ball to Schneiderlin on the edge of the area. His through ball to Kane is weighted to perfection and the striker races onto it before slotting home to put his team in front. Kane (second right, in blue) raises his arm in celebration after putting the Southern All-Stars in front for the first time . 72nd minute: GOAL!!! The Southern All-Stars wrap up the match with Sanchez’s second goal. More intricate build-up play in the midfield allows Sanchez to lose his man, take a touch and hit a powerful effort that beats Hart. Sanchez (bottom right, in blue) notches his second goal of the game to settle the contest at Wembley . 81st minute: From a throw-in on the left, Young feeds Aguero, who has acres of space ahead of him and men arriving in the box. He chooses to go it alone but Courtois makes a comfortable save down to his right. Aguero storms into the box and ignores support on his inside to take a shot from a tight angle, but it's easily saved by Thibaut Courtois . 83rd minute: A corner from the Northern All-Stars is only half cleared to Young but his shot is blasted into the side netting. 88th minute: The Northern All-Stars work an opening from a free-kick but Rooney’s effort is poor and straight at Courtois. 90+2: The simplest chance of the match falls to Aguero in injury-time after a superb low cross from Sterling. The Manchester City star is unmarked six yards out but can only hit the post. Rooney collects the ball and gets another shot away but Courtois palms it out for a corner. Aguero blows his chance to make the scoreline a little more respectable late on when he hits the upright after low cross from Sterling . 90+3: The resulting corner amounts to nothing and the referee blows the final whistle.
