Crystal Palace twice came from behind to stun a revamped Liverpool and claim the Community Shield on penalties after a thrilling 2-2 draw at Wembley on Sunday.

New signings Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong scored for the Premier League champions, but Palace fought back with goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Ismaila Sarr, ultimately winning a mistake-filled shootout 3-2.
