Result: Manchester City 2-3 Manchester United

Manchester United came from two goals down to beat rivals Manchester City 3-2 and win the FA Community Shield at Wembley.

City's Lescott headed in David Silva's free kick on 38 minutes before new United keeper David de Gea let Dzeko's long range effort go past him on the stroke of half time.

Chris Smalling touched in Ashley Young's free kick seven minutes into the second half to pull a goal back, before Nani completed a passing move for United's second.

Interplay between Tom Cleverley, Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck and Nani resulted in the Portuguese international finding space in the box to pull the Premier League champions level.

United's comeback was complete in the 93rd minute when Nani dispossessed Vincent Kompany to run through on goal, before rounding Joe Hart and slotting into an empty net to score his second of the game.
