Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne was surprised to emerge as MOTM after F.A Community Shield

Manchester City narrowly pipped Liverpool to the F.A Community Shield on Sunday, with spot-kicks deciding the winners after a 1-1 draw at the end of 90 minutes.

Raheem Sterling and Joel Matip scored for both sides during regulation time, but both teams had clear-cut chances to win the game and Pep Guardiola’s side were only luckier, not better.

Jurgen Klopp’s side dominated proceedings in the second-half, registering 13 shots – from which they equalized – while City registered just one.

Belgian midfielder Kevin de Bruyne was awarded man of the match after the game, and he was surprised by the decision.
