Manchester City won the UEFA Super Cup for the first time in their history after beating Sevilla in a penalty shootout

Kyle Walker lifted the trophy after the dramatic finale in Athens, with City clinching their first piece of silverware this year

Stepping up in sudden death, Gudelj fired his penalty against the top of the crossbar, sealing his side s agonising defeat

Cole Palmer levelled the scores for City in the second half after latching onto Rodri s delivery and steering a header home

The youngster, who also scored in the Community Shield, rose highest at the far post to nod cleverly above Yassine Bounou

Palmer was mobbed by his team-mates, having handed a dominant City a route back into the end-to-end encounter

Sevilla took the lead against the run of play in the first half through Youssef En-Nesyri, who arrowed a header into the net

Physical forward En-Nesyri had clambered above Nathan Ake and Josko Gvardiol to steer beyond the rooted Ederson

Earlier in the contest, Ake met a delivery from the right-hand flank but could only guide his header wide of the target

A rapid counter-attack from Sevilla almost saw City fall two goals behind, only for Ederson to smother En-Nesryi s low shot

Goalkeeper Bounou was forced into action on several occasions for the LaLiga outfit, including several eye-catching stops

Jack Grealish looked to skip beyond Lucas Ocampos earlier in the showdown but was brought down, resulting in a free-kick
