Manchester City have claimed their first silverware of 2019/20 as they won the Community Shield on penalties against Liverpool on Sunday.

The Premier League champions, who won all four domestic trophies in 2018-19, the first time an English side had achieved the feat, won the shoot-out 5-4 after the game had ended 1-1.

Gabriel Jesus converted the winning spot-kick after Claudio Bravo had parried away Georginio Wijnaldum's effort.

City had taken the lead after 12 minutes as Sterling's close range effort, after a flick on from David Silva, wriggled underneath Alisson.

But Liverpool fought back, with Mohamed Salah twice hitting the post as the European champions peppered the City goal.

Their pressure was rewarded 13 minutes from time as Joel Matip headed home from close range.

Liverpool almost won it in the final seconds as Salah's header was cleared off the line acrobatically by Kyle Walker.
