Manchester United vs Arsenal

A rare treat for United fans - the Community Shield. They rarely win it. And, unlike other clubs, rarely treat it as a major trophy. But they'll enjoy their win - and Tim Howard will perhaps enjoy it the most.

Pires now...has to score......and Howard saves to his right. United win 4-3 on penalties and lift the Community Shield. Tim Howard the hero, sportsfans!

Forlan to take.....nerves jangling now....but he takes it well and Lehmann didn't get near it.

Lauren will take.....and fools Howard with a neat feint and shot.

Solskjaer to take now....and places it under the body of Lehmann....he'll be disappointed.

Wiltord.......down the middle as Howard dives to his right.

Van Nistelrooy takes.....and Lehmann saves....a miracle? Great save. First one in 19 he's missed.

Van Bronckhorst takes now for Arsenal.....and Howard guesses right to save.

Rio Ferdinand will take.....and scores a nice, placed shot.

Edu will face Howard first.....and scores a neat penalty even though T-Ho went the right way.

Scholes will take first......Lehmann jigs...and Scholes rips a shot past him.

A huge delay as there's a mix-up over who drops out of the United line-up of takers after Jeffers was dismissed. Fergie, Fergie sorts them out.

United will take first in front of their fans. Howard will meet his new public.

Ninety minutes are up - there'll be penalties.

Wiltord charges on goal as he gets away. Out comes Howard to clear well. Good goalkeeping.

Vieira fouls Scholes to give United a last chance to launch an assault. Giggs's cross is hacked away.

Djemba Djemba gets excited and shoots well wide. He's been impressive today - he could well turn into a crowd favourite.

Toure clears a Silvestre cross. Pires goes down under a heavy challenge but Arsenal continue in attack. The ball is cleared and Lehmann sweeps up.

Pires sprays it wide. Lauren's cross is overhit.

Van Nistelrooy gets the ball from a rebound, pirouettes in a Mark Hughes style and fires just over. Great striking from him him.

Edu and Pires are outnumbered in attack.

Both players recover. Though the ref puts us through the tedious ritual of them having to limp off and come back on again.

Keane and Vieira clash. Keane looks hurt but Vieira is the man on the deck.

Van Nistelrooy displays his own theatrics and falls over Lauren after losing the ball to the Cameroon.

Cole falls over when Van Nistelrooy shoulder-charged him. Cole gets involved straight away when he baulks Solskjaer.
