The Editor — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 17:25:43 +0000

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.
