A quick refresh of what happened

The FA Cup holders edged the Premier League champions on penalties after a draw in a pulsating Community Shield. Dean Henderson was the hero, saving from Alexis Mac Allister and Harvey Elliott before Mohamed Salah blazed over. You can read the full match report on European Super Football here. 

Here are some of the best comments and reaction to the match

Please note | We collected these quotes before the final decision was made on the club's demotion to the Conference League.

Terry

For me, this is the best Palace side since I started supporting them in 1977. The difference now is we have three players who look capable of scoring regularly. On our day, we can beat anyone.

Andrew

Palace earned that victory with their second-half display. The club’s hierarchy should now go all in on Glasner. He is one of the best managers in the game and Palace must do what it takes to keep him.

James

You wait a while for a major trophy, and then two come along in succession. Some may scoff at the Community Shield, but it is the first silverware of the new season and a great way to start the campaign.

Ade

Crystal Palace are a real force now. Add a few more players and the rest should beware. We should be looking at a top 8 finish this season and more European qualification.

I think Mateta is a better striker than Harry Kane. He has won two trophies with a mid-table side, while Kane can barely make the list of players with a competitive trophy, despite his time at Spurs and Bayern. So when people say a player worth £15-20m is not a quality player, think about that.

Palace fans created a great atmosphere as always.

Michael

Oliver Glasner is a superb manager. I just hope Steve Parish backs him with the signings he needs.

Kevin

Forget the UEFA ruling, the future of Eze and Guehi, or the lack of transfers. The real question is whether the trophy cabinet is big enough.

Nicholas

Palace deserved the win on the strength of their second half. With the Europa decision to come on Monday, perhaps an even bigger victory lies ahead. Keep the key players and who knows what this season might bring.
