Crystal Palace stunned Liverpool in a penalty shootout to win their first Community Shield on a dramatic day at Wembley.
Palace had come from behind twice against the Premier League champions, with Jean Philippe-Mateta and Ismaila Sarr cancelling out strikes from Liverpool new boys Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong.
Their afternoon could hardly have got off to a worse start when an ominous looking Liverpool scored after just four minutes.
It looked as though the champions could run away with it from there, but Palace got themselves back into the game when Virgil van Dijk conceded a penalty for tripping Sarr with the type of rusty challenge you would not expect to see from Liverpool’s captain once the season is in full flow.
Liverpool’s second came soon after, as Frimpong lobbed the ball over Henderson with what was almost certainly supposed to be a cross.
Palace came close to equalising several times early in the second half, with Chris Richards and Eberechi Eze both testing Alisson from close range.
Palace were unfortunate not to win a second penalty towards the end of normal time, with replays clearly showing the ball striking substitute Mac Allister’s hand.
In the end it mattered little, as Mateta and Sarr both found the net in the shootout and substitute Devenny scored the winner with an emphatic strike into the top corner.
