Liverpool struck first blood against Manchester City ahead of the new Premier League season as Darwin Nunez made an instant impact for Jurgen Klopp’s men to win the Community Shield 3-1 on Saturday. 

In a tale of two big summer signings, Nunez came off the bench to win a penalty and score his first goal since a 75-million euro move from Benfica, while Erling Haaland had a City debut to forget. “He’s good,” said Klopp on Nunez, who has been criticised for his pre-season performances. “Today we played the smart passes. All the subs made a real difference. It was the most important thing I learned today, that the boys are ready.”
