Jurgen Klopp: Liverpool boss makes fan's day after Man City win

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp added the Community Shield to his impressive Anfield trophy haul on Saturday evening as the Reds swept Manchester City aside 3-1 at the King Power Stadium in Leicester.

While the match itself is essentially a glorified friendly, the contest was played at a fierce pace throughout.

With Liverpool and City considered the two most likely sides to duke it out over the Premier League title by oddsmakers this season, the result of the game clearly mattered to both clubs and their supporters.

It was the Merseysiders who drew first blood when Trent Alexander-Arnold opened the scoring – with the aid of a slight deflection off Nathan Ake.

City’s new Argentine striker Julian Alvarez came off the bench to level matters 20 minutes from time. However, it would be a Liverpool substiute who decided the match in emphatic fashion.

Shortly after City’s equaliser, the Reds’ £85 million signing from Benfica, Darwin Nunez, saw his header at goal handled by Ruben Dias in the box.

Following a VAR check, Liverpool were awarded a penalty. True to form, Mo Salah made no mistake from the spot to give Klopp’s men the lead with seven minutes remaining.

Nunez put the icing on the cake for his new club in stoppage time to settle the match, handling Liverpool their first win in the fixture in three attempts under Klopp.

There was no telling the travelling Reds fans that the match was a ‘friendly’ at the final whistle as they erupted in celebration after getting one over on Pep Guardiola’s side.
