Crystal Palace players mob former skipper live on air and hand him winner’s medal after Community Shield triumph against Liverpool

Former Crystal Palace captain Joel Ward was mobbed by his former team-mates following their Community Shield triumph over Liverpool.

The Eagles beat Arne Slot's side on penalties after the match ended 2-2 in normal time.

Liverpool's new signings Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong both scored in the first half but were pegged back each time by goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and, after the break, Ismaila Sarr.

Mohamed Salah missed his second penalty in a week before Dean Henderson made saves from Alexis Mac Allister and Harvey Elliott during a 3-2 shootout triumph.
