Crystal Palace came from behind twice and kept their cool in the penalty shoot-out to beat Liverpool in the Community Shield.

After a poignant tribute to Diogo Jota before kick-off, Hugo Ekitike put Liverpool ahead early on with a sharp turn and finish into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.

But Palace were soon level, with Jean-Philippe Mateta coolly slotting in a penalty after Virgil van Dijk tripped Ismaila Sarr in the box.

Jeremie Frimpong then restored the Reds' lead when his stabbed cross went over Dean Henderson and into the far corner.

It was from his pass that Ekitike opened the scoring and there were many other instances of a relationship developing between Liverpool's two most expensive summer signings.

While Liverpool's starting line-up boasted four new signings in the form of Wirtz, Ekitike, Frimpong and Milos Kerkez, Palace's had an extremely familiar feeling.

With Palace waiting on the Court of Arbitration for Sport, there is still a lot of dust left to settle.

For the best part of eight years, Liverpool fans have got used to seeing Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson operating down the flanks.

Today Kerkez is getting dragged inside with Sarr leaving Gakpo chasing WB."

While Alexander-Arnold's passing ability can't be replicated, Frimpong's speed and engine is a major asset, while Kerkez has similar characteristics to Robertson, who was on the bench on Sunday.

With Ryan Gravenberch sitting the match out after becoming a father and with Alexis Mac Allister not arriving on the pitch until the 71st minute, Curtis Jones was given a chance to impress in a deep-lying midfield role for Liverpool.

The England midfielder was exemplary and tidy, completing all 53 of his passes, but it was Adam Wharton who caught the eye in the middle of the pitch, growing into the game in the second half.

Having been hyped for a long time, could this be the season he explodes?

It may sound strange for a club that has spent around £300m this summer, but Liverpool still need another forward this summer.
