Kelechi Iheanacho scored a late penalty as Leicester stunned Manchester City to win the Community Shield.
The meeting of last season's Premier League and FA Cup winners was very exciting in parts and looked to be heading for penalties, before Iheanacho struck from the spot with a minute remaining after being tripped by Nathan Ake.
Before the match had started, Pep Guardiola had spoken about having little time to prepare for the new season and with "half of the team" being out.
New signing Jack Grealish got a run out for 25 minutes but found it difficult to exert any influence the game. City were missing a centre forward and rumours about the signing of a new striker persist.
What are the fans saying?
One City fan said: "We would have definitely won with KDB and Phil Foden in the team."
Another posted: "Congrats Leicester I'm looking forward to our overpowered midfield next season! Come on City!"
This City fan then added: "Hope this is a wake-up call and they set the league on fire."
