"I thought we were on top, if anything," Terry said, admitting that the result was painful.

"These games are always a bit slow with players finding their feet and fitness, but it's disappointing we didn't win.

"Losing is just horrible in all aspects... It means a lot, because you've earned the right to be here so we're just disappointed.

"It hurts. It doesn't matter if it's a friendly or the Community Shield - it's a trophy at the end of the day."
