Crystal Palace have won the Community Shield for the first time after beating Liverpool 3-2 on penalties.

New signings Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong scored for the Premier League champions, but Palace responded through Jean-Philippe Mateta and Ismaila Sarr before winning an error-strewn shootout 3-2.
