Alejandro Garnacho’s 82nd-minute goal was cancelled out by Bernardo Silva’s late equaliser which took the Community Shield to it’s second penalty shootout in a row.
Johnny Evans skied his effort from the spot which resulted in the key moment as Manuel Akanji smashed his ball into the roof of the net, seeing the blue side of Manchester lift the shield for the first time since 2019.
