Football fans hand 'Round 1' to Darwin Nunez in his battle of the multi-million pound strikers with Erling Haaland... as the Uruguayan scores for Liverpool in Community Shield victory while the Man City forward has 'one of the misses of the season'

Darwin Nunez got the better of Erling Haaland as Liverpool lifted the Community Shield following their 3-1 victory over Manchester City.

All eyes were on the multi-million pound strikers going into their first match against each other, in a taster of what is to come in the Premier League season which kicks off next weekend.

Though Nunez started on the bench, it was the Liverpool man who got off Manchester City's Norwegian superstar at the King Power Stadium.
