Liverpool have won the UEFA Super Cup on penalties after stand-in goalkeeper Adrian saved Tammy Abraham's spot-kick in the shootout.
Penalty shootout: Liverpool 5-4 Chelsea
Match Report
Tammy Abraham saw Chelsea's fifth penalty saved by Adrian as Liverpool secured the UEFA Super Cup in Istanbul.
Adrian saved from Tammy Abraham as Liverpool beat Chelsea 5-4 on penalties to win the first all-English UEFA Super Cup following a 2-2 draw in Istanbul.
Olivier Giroud gave Frank Lampard's side a deserved first-half lead on Wednesday, but the introduction of Roberto Firmino as a half-time substitute changed the game for the Reds.
Firmino quickly set up Mane for the equaliser and, in the first period of extra time, the Senegal star smashed home from his team-mate's pass again before Jorginho equalised from the penalty spot.
But it was the European champions who triumphed in the shoot-out, Alisson's deputy Adrian denying Abraham with his right leg to secure victory for Jurgen Klopp's side.
Match Events
36' GOAL! Liverpool 0-1 Chelsea (Giroud)
GOOOAAALLL! Giroud fires Chelsea ahead, they lead 1-0! They've dominated for the last few minutes and have finally got the breakthrough, with Adrian unable to do anything about this effort.
40' OFFSIDE! Pulisic scores but goal is disallowed
GOAL RULED OUT! Pulisic thinks he has made it 2-0 but the offside flag goes up and it's ruled out for offside.
48' GOAL! Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea (Mane)
GOOOAAALLL! Liverpool are level, it's 1-1! It's a scrappy goal but they won't mind one bit. Mane getting the final touch to it to smash it home from a yard or so out.
Fabinho chips the ball into the box and Firmino just gets to it ahead of Kepa. It then falls to Mane, who manages to react quickly and get the final touch to turn the ball into an empty net.
83' DISALLOWED GOAL! Mount's shot offside
Chelsea have the ball in the back of the net again, but once again it is ruled out for offside. Mount races through on goal after being picked out by Jorginho, he then drills the ball into the far corner of the net, but he was just offside as he made his run off the shoulder of Gomez.
95' GOAL! Liverpool 2-1 Chelsea (Mane)
GOAL! Mane puts Liverpool ahead, they lead 2-1! Firmino does well down the left wing, he gets to the byline and then pulls the ball back to Mane who was unmarked and waiting in the penalty area. The striker powers the ball into the top right-hand corner of the net. Kepa had no chance of stopping that effort.
101' Penalty Goal! Liverpool 2-2 Chelsea (Jorginho)
GOAL! Jorginho sends Adrian the wrong way from the penalty spot and he makes it 2-2! The midfielder just waited until the keeper had made a move and then slotted the ball into the other side of the goal.
Adrian brings Abraham down deep inside the penalty area, after the striker just gets a toe to the ball first and the Liverpool keeper clips the legs of the Chelsea man. The referee immediately points to the spot and after a VAR check the decision stands.

I specially came over to read Liverpool fans comment and omg I feel sorry for them. Just look at how Kante destroyed the midfield ๐๐. Where was the overrated Player Vandjik ๐๐คฃ๐คฃ at the defense. Congrats ๐๐พ Chelsea. The referee couldnโt stand the disgrace she made so she had to give a false penalty to Chelsea. Chelseaโs second goal wasnโt offside ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ. How can a big and great match like this not have VAR to verify goals, fouls and offsides ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ. How can you call offside after the player takes the ball from almost Centre , dribble to go and score and then call offside. Well done Chelsea. You guys played well. Better luck next time.

I donโt want to hear any encouragement,the truth is that with this transfer ban chelsea cant perform optimum and we will have more incoming heart breaks,so sad๐ ,lampard is good,but the players upfront need more fire power,we just have players that are always nearly,we cant do well with those kind of player,and another sad truth is that kepa lacks physique,he is kind off too small,difficult replacing him,we just have to bear that.my blood is blue๐๐๐

But seriously Chelsea played a fantastic game today... I never thought they could hold Liverpool to this extent of going to Penalty.... Chelsea will overcome their injury crisis and come back good. Liverpool still the best team and only team to compete with Man city for the title... YNWA congratulations
Lol... They weren't well compacted then and whereas today's own is a cup final so they prepared well ๐๐
