Jeremie Frimpong scores classy goal as Liverpool fall to Crystal Palace in Community Shield
Jeremie Frimpong, a defender for Liverpool and a Dutch international from Ghana, had an incredible start in the Community Shield, scoring a spectacular goal against Crystal Palace.
Frimpong, who was brought in to replace Alexander Arnold, gave the Reds an outstanding performance even if they were unable to win the championship.
Four minutes into the game, Hugo Ekitike scored with a perfect strike following Florian Wirtz’s assist.
But Crystal Palace rallied quickly, as Jean-Philippe Mateta clinched a penalty that was given for a Van Dijk foul to tie the score.
In the 21st-minute, Frimpong rose to the occasion for Liverpool, scoring a brilliant goal to put his side in front again. He received the ball on the right wing, beat his defender, and delivered a sublime chip over Henderson.
After the halftime break, Crystal Palace pulled parity through Senegal international Ismaila Sarr as the game ended in a stalemate in regular time.
However, it was Crystal Palace, who prevailed in the penalty shootout, defeating Liverpool 3-2 to lift the trophy.
