Community Shield Final: Liverpool v Manchester City as it happened
Alexander-Arnold unfurled a fabulous strike from the edge of the box off the left post in the 21st minute, while miscued chances for City’s star buy Erling Haaland left Pep Guardiola with a frustrating first half on his hands.
The introduction of Argentina star Alvarez from the bench proved an inspired move by Spaniard Guardiola, with the former River Plate man flicking home after Phil Foden’s saved effort to level matters.
But when Ruben Dias was flagged for a handball from Nunez’s header with full-time fast approaching, Salah was able to put the Reds back on top with his low spot-kick.
