Liverpool
beat Chelsea 5-4 on penalties to win the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday after a
richly entertaining match in Istanbul finished 2-2 at the end of extra time.
Every
penalty in the shoot-out had found the net before Tammy Abraham’s effort was
saved by Spanish goalkeeper Adrian, allowing the European champions to win the
trophy for the fourth time in their history.
Sadio
Mane had earlier canceled out Olivier Giroud’s opener and then scored again to
put Liverpool 2-1 up five minutes into extra time. However, Jorginho netted a
penalty at the other end to force the shoot-out.
