Crystal Palace claimed their first Community Shield by drawing 2-2 with Liverpool and winning 3-2 on penalties. They equalized twice after falling behind, first through a penalty by Jean-Philippe Mateta and then with a goal from Ismaila Sarr. Goalkeeper Dean Henderson played a crucial role in the shootout, saving attempts from two Liverpool players. With an expected goals total of 2.03 from 14 shots, Palace exhibited a strong performance, especially in the second half, showcasing confidence built over months of play.
After the first situation, we were 1-0 down. Then we come back and then concede a very unlucky second goal. We came back and then decided the game on penalties.
A big performance. I thought we were almost on the same level as Liverpool and decided this game, so I'm really proud of the team and how they played today.
We know what we can do, how we can create our situations with this confidence which has built up over months. The players are really believing.
I said before I think it's possible, we can score two goals, if we can keep Liverpool down to one or two, then we have the chance to win it.
