Man City manager Guardiola: Bravo won the Community Shield

Pep Guardiola says Claudio Bravo was the difference-maker in Sunday's Community Shield win over Liverpool.

The Chilean made a number of impressive saves in the second half of the match, before denying Gini Wijnaldum in the shoot-out to help City seal victory.

Speaking after the match, Guardiola said: "I was really impressed. Not just now, but in preseason. After what happened, he is not a young guy.

"His build up, he was calm and he won the game for us today. Everyone made an incredible contribution but he won the game.

"He is an incredible second keeper. He saved the game many times today and of course, he had to save the penalty."
