'What are the odds he outscores Haaland and Nunez this season?': Football fans hail Man City striker Julian Alvarez after he scores his first goal for the club in Community Shield clash with Liverpool

Manchester City fell to defeat in the Community Shield against Liverpool, but Pep Guardiola's side had something to take from the game as new striker Julian Alvarez scored his first goal for the club.

Alvarez tucked home from close range to level the score against Liverpool, before Jurgen Klopp's side went on to win the trophy thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez.

All eyes had been on big-money signings Erling Haaland and Nunez before the game, but it was the £14million addition from River Plate who struck first out of the trio.
