Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp added the Community Shield to his impressive Anfield trophy haul on Saturday evening as the Reds swept Manchester City aside 3-1 at the King Power Stadium in Leicester.

While the match itself is essentially a glorified friendly, the contest was played at a fierce pace throughout.

With Liverpool and City considered the two most likely sides to duke it out over the Premier League title by oddsmakers this season, the result of the game clearly mattered to both clubs and their supporters.

It was the Merseysiders who drew first blood when Trent Alexander-Arnold opened the scoring – with the aid of a slight deflection off Nathan Ake.

City’s new Argentine striker Julian Alvarez came off the bench to level matters 20 minutes from time. However, it would be a Liverpool substiute who decided the match in emphatic fashion.

Shortly after City’s equaliser, the Reds’ £85 million signing from Benfica, Darwin Nunez, saw his header at goal handled by Ruben Dias in the box.

Following a VAR check, Liverpool were awarded a penalty. True to form, Mo Salah made no mistake from the spot to give Klopp’s men the lead with seven minutes remaining.

Nunez put the icing on the cake for his new club in stoppage time to settle the match, handling Liverpool their first win in the fixture in three attempts under Klopp.

There was no telling the travelling Reds fans that the match was a ‘friendly’ at the final whistle as they erupted in celebration after getting one over on Pep Guardiola’s side.

For one Liverpool supporter, though, the day will like longer in the memory than most.

As Klopp went over to acknowledge the backing his team had received throughout the match, he met a fan with a giant tattoo of the former Borussia Dortmund coach on his lower leg.

Having got Klopp’s attention, the supporter lifted his limb over the advertising boards surrounding the pitch and asked the German to sign the inked portrait.

The Liverpool boss was more than happy to accomodate the request, even taking the time to double-check with the fan where he wanted the signature.

Klopp then posed for pictures with the beaming supporter, who will surely be getting the autograph permanently added to his tattoo very soon.
