With the prospects of another trophy on offer, European Champions Liverpool met Europa League winners Chelsea in the UEFA Super Cup in Istanbul.
The Reds endured a tough challenge on Wednesday night, but eventually overcame their Premier League opponents in a penalty shootout.
After a poor first half, Liverpool found themselves 1-0 down at half-time, thanks to Olivier Giroud’s strike.
The addition Roberto Firmino yielded immediate dividends, however, as the Brazilian set up Sadio Mane for two goals that nearly won the match.
The second of those came in extra-time – a fabulous effort after two of Liverpool’s star men linked superbly.
After a late penalty from Jorginho allowed the Londoners to equalise – a harsh decision on Adrian – a shootout was required to separate the two sides.
Every Liverpool player converted, before Adrian’s save from Tammy Abraham meant Liverpool lifted their first piece of silverware this season.
Here are four findings from the match.
