End of 2nd Half
FT
That's it, it's all over, and Leicester City have won the Community Shield at Wembley!
92'
City are throwing everything at getting the equaliser, but Leicester have defended well all evening and it's looking like the Foxes have won this.
90'
There will be four minutes of added time at Wembley. Enough for Man City to rescue something?
89'
GOOOAAALLL!!! Iheanacho scores from the spot and have Leicester City just won the Community Shield?! 1-0!

Fernandinho is going off at the ref here. He gets a yellow but reading his lips it's perhaps fortunate that the card isn't red.

87'
Penalty! Late drama at Wembley! Ake is caught napping on the ball on the edge of the box and Iheanacho nips in to take the ball, with Ake hacking him down. Steffen makes a brilliant save on the follow-up, but it’s a penalty anyway.
84'
Steffen is alive to a through-ball and gathers at the second attempt. He’s been good today the American.
81'
Can either side grab a winner? City are controlling the tempo and possession largely as we head into the final ten minutes, but Leicester remain a menace on the break.
79'
More changes for Leicester, including another big goal threat.

77'
Just a reminder that this game goes straight to penalties if it’s level after the 90.
76'
Grealish goes on a lively run and tries to weave through the Leicester defence, going to turf on the edge of the box. But the referee sees nothing in that and waves the free-kick appeals away.
73'
Lots of changes for both sides as the two managers being to make use of the six sub rule.
69'
Grealish is playing off the left in his first appearance in a City shirt, so no immediate change of role from Pep Guardiola… which is probably sensible given they’ll have had virtually no time in training yet.
67'
Grealish might be on, but Leicester are still looking just as likely to open the scoring, and Barnes’ cross very nearly picks out the run of Vardy in the box.
65'
Rodri also comes on, to slightly more muted cheers.

65'
Arguably this is the moment that Man City fans have been waiting for today. It's a debut for the Premier League's most expensive ever signing.
63'
Some substitutes are incoming, and one of them is quite a headline moment...
62'
Edozie has run himself into the ground here and the youngsters lack of first-team time has caught up with him, he’s suffering from a s pot of cramp by the looks of things.
59'
Mahrez is in here, clean through, but he’s forced slightly wide as he loses his puff with Ndidi almost catching him, and the Man City man rushes his shot and sends it over the bar. Should be 1-0.
