Crystal Palace win Community Shield after beating Liverpool on penalties 

Crystal Palace won the Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday, beating Liverpool on penalties after a 2-2 draw in regulation time.

The Reds struck early, opening the scoring after just four minutes through new signing Hugo Ekitike, before the Londoners hit back from the spot with Jean-Philippe Mateta converting a penalty in the 17th minute.

Liverpool wasted no time regaining the lead, with fellow new arrival Jeremie Frimpong finding the net just four minutes after the Eagles’ equaliser.

In the second half, Ismaila Sarr brought Crystal Palace level again, forcing the match to be decided by a penalty shootout.

Goalkeeper Dean Henderson was the hero for Crystal Palace, saving two spot-kicks to secure the victory.

It marks Crystal Palace’s second trophy at Wembley in just three months.
