Liverpool started brightly with their new arrivals making an impact. However, Palace&rsquo;s resilience and Dean Henderson&rsquo;s penalty heroics ensured that the Eagles lifted the silverware in their debut appearance in the competition.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">CRYSTAL PALACE ARE THE 2025 COMMUNITY SHIELD WINNERS &#10084;&#65039;&#128153; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dXhwOVGbSZ\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/dXhwOVGbSZ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Crystal Palace F.C.

Palace hit back soon after as Ismaila Sarr drew a foul from Virgil van Dijk to win a penalty. Jean-Philippe Mateta stepped up and converted it coolly.<\/p><p>Liverpool regained their advantage another time in the 21st minute. Jeremie Frimpong provided a looping delivery which was likely intended for Ekitike but found its way into the net.
