Manchester United lifted the Community Shield after beating Chelsea 3-0 in a penalty shoot-out at Wembley.

Ryan Giggs gave the Premiership champions the lead on 35 minutes, but Chelsea’s new signing Florent Malouda levelled just before the break when he shrugged off a challenge from Rio Ferdinand to finish neatly. The game finished 0-0 at full-time and with no extra time scheduled to be played, it was time for penalties.

United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar produced a hat-trick of penalty saves from Claudio Pizarro, Frank Lampard and Shaun Wright-Phillips, while Rio Ferdinand, Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney all scored from the spot to give Sir Alex Ferguson’s side their first silverware of the season.

Reports from Spain suggest that Real Madrid have launched a massive £27million double bid for Chelsea duo Arjen Robben and Michael Ballack.

Robben has been strongly linked with a move to the Spanish giants over the past few weeks, and it now looks as if Michael Ballack could be joining the Dutchman as part of a joint deal.

A lot of Tottenham Hotspur fans have written in to us asking if we can show the new British Telecom advert which features Aaron Lennon’s goal against Chelsea in the 2-1 win at the Lane last season.

It looks to us as if someone high up in BT is a massive Spurs fan! Sorry Chelsea fans.
