It will not even be Crystal Palace’s biggest result of the week – they hope that is still to come on Monday at the Court of Arbitration for Sport – but how they revelled in winning this Community Shield.

Crystal Palace have won the Community Shield on penalties after a 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Wembley. Reds new boy Hugo Ekitike gave Liverpool the lead early on before Jean-Philippe Mateta equalised from the penalty spot after Virgil van Dijk bought down Ismaila Sarr.

Palace will play in European competition for the first time this season, a reward for winning the FA Cup in May
