Manchester City Triumph in Community Shield Clash with Manchester United
Manchester City emerged victorious in the annual Community Shield clash against local rivals Manchester United on Saturday. After a 1-1 draw in regular time, the champions secured victory in the penalty shootout, claiming the English version of the Super Cup.
