Crystal Palace made history by winning their first-ever Community Shield after a thrilling 2-2 draw with Liverpool and a dramatic 3-2 penalty shootout triumph at Wembley on Sunday, August 10.
Liverpool’s record summer signings, Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong, found the net, but Jean-Philippe Mateta and Ismaila Sarr kept Palace in the fight.
Goalkeeper Dean Henderson became the hero, saving spot-kicks from Alexis Mac Allister and Harvey Elliott before Mohamed Salah missed, allowing Justin Devenny to seal the win.
The match carried deep emotion for Liverpool, mourning the tragic death of forward Diogo Jota in July, as tributes filled the stadium.
