Crystal Palace Stun Liverpool in Penalty Thriller to Clinch Unbelievable Community Shield Triumph
Brief recap
It was always going to be interesting to see Liverpool’s new signings in action, and early signs were very promising. The move which ended with the opening goal was a brilliant one, as Wirtz displayed his full power of threading passes through tightest of spaces and Ekitike produced a top-class finish from around the edge of the box.
Liverpool mostly controlled the proceedings in the first half. Palace rarely got near Alisson’s goal, but Van Dijk, perhaps because he had made several defensive actions look easy early on, got a bit overconfident and made a late tackle on Sarr which prompted referee Chris Kavanagh to point to the spot. The complaints from the Dutch defender were pointless and Mateta was ruthless.
