Crystal Palace stun Liverpool to win Community Shield

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner reflects on their FA Community Shield win over Liverpool.

Crystal Palace defeated Liverpool in the Community Shield, winning 3-2 on penalties after the match ended 2-2 at Wembley.
Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson was instrumental, saving two penalties from Alexis Mac Allister and Harvey Elliott in the shootout; Justin Devenny scored the decisive penalty for Crystal Palace.
Liverpool's new signings Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong scored on their competitive debuts, while Jean-Philippe Mateta and Ismaila Sarr netted for Crystal Palace.
Palace appealed for a penalty after Sarr and Mac Allister both challenged for a ball in the air, but it was deemed no handball by the Argentinian, and the game ended in a stalemate.
Before kick-off, tributes were paid to the late Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, though a minute's silence was cut short due to shouting from some Palace fans.
