'Same vibes' - Man City fans make Sergio Aguero point after Julian Alvarez goal vs Liverpool FC

Fans have hailed Julian Alvarez after he grabbed Manchester City’s equaliser against Liverpool on his debut in the Community Shield.

The attacker - who was signed in January before seeing out the rest of the European season on loan back at River Plate - came on as a second-half substitute and it wasn’t long before he was in amongst the action.

The Argentine pounced on a spilt catch from Reds goalkeeper Adrian to prod home on 70 minutes despite the best efforts of Joel Matip. He was initially flagged offside before a lengthy VAR check overturned the decision to send City fans into a frenzy.

However, it wasn’t to be City’s day as Liverpool earned a 3-1 win thanks to Mohamed Salah's 83rd-minute penalty following Ruben Dias’ handball and Darwin Nunez's stoppage-time debut header. Nevertheless, that didn’t stop City fans from praising Alvarez for his significant impact.

Some on Twitter compared his competitive bow to that of City's all-time leading goalscorer Sergio Aguero, who netted on his debut against Swansea in 2011. Upon scoring, the striker hit the classic horned-handed celebration often used by Aguero.
