MANCHESTER CITY WINS UEFA SUPER CUP TO ON PENALTIES IN ATHENS.

English Champions Manchester Coty yesterday added the UEFA Super Cup to the Treble they claimed last season with victory over Sevilla on penalties in Athens.

Manchester City who lost the Community Shield to Arsenal in a shootout, saw their fortunes transformed when Sevilla’s Nemanja Gudelj hit the bar after nine successful penalties.

Pep Guardiola’s Champions League winners had to come from behind in an entertaining encounter to force penalties after a towering header from Youssef En-Nesyri put the Europa League holders ahead on 25 minutes.

Sevilla goalkeeper Bono and his Manchester City counterpart Ederson both shone with fine saves before man-of-the-match Cole Palmer rose at the far post in the 63rd minute to level with a looping header from Rodri’s cross.
