Manchester City edged out Manchester United in a thrilling Community Shield encounter that was ultimately decided by a penalty shootout.
After a pulsating 90 minutes that saw Alejandro Garnacho open the scoring for United before Bernardo Silva leveled for City, the match went to penalties. Missed spot-kicks from Jadon Sancho and Johnny Evans proved costly for Erik ten Hag’s side as City clinched the trophy with a 7-6 shootout victory.
The two rivals now turn their attention to the Premier League, with United facing Fulham at Old Trafford next Friday and City kicking off their title defense against Chelsea on Sunday.
