Manchester City avenged their FA Cup defeat against Manchester United by winning the Community Shield 7-6 on penalties on Saturday, following a 1-1 draw at Wembley Stadium.
The match came to life in the final 10 minutes as Alejandro Garnacho gave United the lead, but Bernardo Silva equalised before City emerged victorious in a marathon shoot-out.
Sudden death was required, with City clinching the victory when Jonny Evans chipped the ball over and Manuel Akanji converted.
