Video Oliver Glasner used to inspire Crystal Palace to Community Shield triumph revealed

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner inspired his side to Community Shield success by showing them a video of fans celebrating their FA Cup glory.

The Eagles took down another giant as they beat Premier League champions Liverpool just 85 days after they shocked Manchester City to win the Cup. Keeper Dean Henderson was the penalty hero again as he saved two spot-kicks - including an incredible one to deny Alexis Mac Allister.

Glasner said: “We showed the players a video before we went to Wembley about the happiness of the fans winning the FA Cup. This is the emotional reward. You can’t buy it for all the money in the world. Our fans deserved it. They are always supporting us and pushing the team forward and it is a great connection. We were all rewarded and this stays forever.”

Henderson denied Mac Allister and Harvey Elliott in the shootout after Mo Salah skied his spot kick as Palace picked up the trophy in the season’s curtain-raiser. The former Manchester United keeper used notes on a water bottle which he hid in his towel. It followed his save from Omar Marmoush when Palace beat City in May to win silverware for the first time in their history.

Glasner added: “We know that dean is a great goalkeeper. The day before the meeting at the hotel with the analysts and the goalkeeper coach they went through all the penalty takers from Liverpool and he is well prepared.”

The Palace boss confirmed that defender Marc Guehi came off with cramp rather than injury with the England international linked to a move away before the transfer window closes.

Palace will find out today if their CAS appeal on being demoted to the Europa Conference League was successful over joint-ownership issues.

“It will be good to put it behind us but I don’t want that to come across as any kind of fatalism,” says chairman Steve Parish. “I am determined that we will get the right outcome. If we don’t get the right outcome, we will have to look at steps after that.

"But even more after Friday, I do not understand how we cannot be in that competition. It is up to the judges to decide, we trust them. Let’s see.”
