Leicester 1-0 Man City LIVE! Iheanacho penalty wins Community Shield - match stream, result, latest updates

Leicester City vs Man City LIVE!

Leicester got the better of Manchester City at Wembley in the 2021/22 season curtain-raiser today as they won the Community Shield.

Jack Grealish made his Man City debut from the bench but it was another substitute, Kelechi Iheanacho, who won the Shield for Leicester.

Just two days after becoming the most expensive British player following his move from Aston Villa for £100million, Grealish was named among the City substitutes at Wembley.

The England attacker entered the fray with 65 minutes gone but was unable to help City break the deadlock in a tight game, with Jamie Vardy going close three times before the break.

Instead it was former City striker Iheanacho who won a second Community Shield for Leicester - 50 years to the day since they won their first - with a penalty two minutes from time sealing a 1-0 victory.
