    Liverpool 1-1 Man City

    Huge shouts for handball!

    Ruben Dias is bang to rights! Darwin Nunez peels away in the box and sends a header towards goal that clearly strikes Ruben Diaz's arm.

    It is not given on the pitch. Surely VAR will overturn this!

    Liverpool just starting to rock a little bit now, their previous composure deserting them slightly.

    Adrian is fed the ball and he slices his clearance straight out of play to cheers from the City fans.

    Man City have a new lease of life. Liverpool have to regroup, but the changes in the team, you can see a change in the body language.

    They were looking tired and weary, but all of a sudden it is different

    Julian Alvarez is a live wire isn't he?

    A reminder that there is no extra-time in the Community Shield. If this finishes level, we'll go straight to a penalty shoot-out.

    City fancy the winner now. Bernardo Silva chips a cross from wide right on to the roof of the net.

    Michael: Got to the correct decision, but why does it take so long. There should be a timer, if it takes longer than 60 seconds to come to a decision it’s not a clear and obvious error.

  8. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 75 mins

    More changes. Harvey Elliott and James Milner are on for Liverpool. Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold depart.

    Ilkay Gundogan replaces Kevin de Bruyne for City.

    It is a great save, but the pace keeps it alive, but Alvarez was alert.

    GOAL - Liverpool 1-1 Man Citypublished at 73 mins

    Julian Alvarez

    Goal given!

    Julian Alvarez is able to celebrate his finish that brings City level.., that is until Pep Guardiola grabs him to give some instructions.

    A big moment for the young forward, who showed predatory instincts the get in and finish.

    This will get checked in fine detail. There is so little in it.

    The ITV freeze makes it look like Andy Robertson is playing the City players on as they chase Kevin de Bruyne's pass...

  12. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 18:31 British Summer Time 30 July 2022

    Liverpool 1-0 Man City

    Julian Alvarez's celebrations are cut short!

    He thinks he has poked in his first goal for the club after Phil Foden's shot is saved by Adrian.

    The flag is up against the striker (or possibly Foden), but it is very, very tight...

    Is this a penalty?! Phil Foden’s cross looks like it may have hit Joel Matip's arm as he falls in the box. Play continues with no spot-kick awarded on the pitch.

    VAR has a look... but seems happy to let it slide. Oof. A potential let off for Liverpool.

    Anyone taking to social media to doubt Haaland's credentials, especially on the basis of just 60-odd minutes of football for a new club needs to take a long, hard look at themselves.

    Shaun: A lot of talk about Haaland’s success in the Bundesliga. Let’s not forget 20 in 21 internationals (16 in 17 competitive) and 23 in 19 Champions League…

    Darwin Nunez has already livened this game up. Like it needed it!

    He gets in behind again and has just Ederson to beat but fails to do so with a little chipped effort.

    The City keeper actually blocks it with his face.

    Nunez has a similar mindset to Haaland in terms of getting in behind. Jurgen Klopp has referred to Liverpool trying to get used to his type of runs because his finishing is phenomenal.

    Some good work from Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden forces Adrian to clip a pass straight out of play.

    The City subs on with some intent.

    This is going to be a gripping last 30 minutes!

    Luis Diaz burns away down the left and crosses just ahead of the charging Mohamed Salah on the right. This after Kyle Walker had seen his volleyed cross blocked at the other end.

    He's clearly got a yard or two on him, the Liverpool striker.
