Darwin Nunez scores as Liverpool beat Man City to win Community Shield

Summer signing Darwin Nunez scored as Liverpool beat Premier League champions Manchester City 3-1 to claim the FA Community Shield at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

Despite being without Nunez in the first half, it was Liverpool who were quick to strike with Trent Alexander Arnold opening the scoring in the 21st minute. His first-time strike took a slight deflection off the head of Nathan Ake and nestled in off the post.

City's Erling Haaland started his second game since signing for Pep Guardiola's team and spurned two chances to draw level shortly before half-time.

Jurgen Klopp introduced new man Nunez from the bench an hour in and Liverpool continued to look dangerous going forward, with City desperate for an equaliser.
