Crystal Palace Stun Liverpool in Penalty Thriller to Clinch Unbelievable Community Shield Triumph
Crystal Palace won their first ever trophy through FA Cup glory at the end of 2024/25, and now they’ve also won the Community Shield, beating Liverpool on penalties to claim the first trophy of 2025/26.
Liverpool started brightly, with record signing Florian Wirtz setting up another newcomer – Hugo Ekitike – for an opener after less than four minutes. Palace responded from the spot in the 17th minute, with Jean-Philippe Mateta scoring after Virgil van Dijk was judged to have fouled Eberechi Eze inside the box. Liverpool quickly struck again, this time with Jeremie Frimpong, yet another new player for the Reds, seeing his cross cheat Dean Henderson in the Palace goal in the 21st, but Ismaila Sarr took advantage of a gap in Liverpool’s defence to level again in the 77th.
