Crystal Palace have made history by winning their first-ever Community Shield, defeating Liverpool 3-2 in a dramatic penalty shootout at Wembley on Sunday.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The FA Cup holders twice came from behind in regular time before holding their nerve from the spot.

Liverpool struck early when new signing Hugo Ekitike scored just four minutes into his debut, assisted by fellow recruit Florian Wirtz. Palace responded through Jean-Philippe Mateta, who converted from the penalty spot after Virgil van Dijk fouled Ismaila Sarr.

Jeremie Frimpong restored Liverpool’s lead with an unusual cross that looped over goalkeeper Dean Henderson and found the far corner. But Sarr levelled the match again in the second half, finishing smartly from Adam Wharton’s pinpoint pass to force penalties.

In the shootout, Henderson proved the hero, saving from Alexis Mac Allister and Harvey Elliott, while Mohamed Salah fired over the bar. Liverpool’s Alisson Becker denied Eberechi Eze, and Borna Sosa hit the crossbar, but Oliver Glasner’s men kept calm to clinch the trophy.

The win extends Palace’s impressive run under Glasner and adds another highlight to Henderson’s growing list of big-stage performances. For Liverpool, it was yet another Wembley disappointment, ending the day as runners-up.

News reports that the entertainer announced his new career development in a post shared on his Instagram page.

Justin UG revealed that joining the military was never part of his plans, noting that he would have found it difficult to believe anyone who predicted a few years ago that he would eventually wear the military uniform.

He disclosed that the past few weeks had been physically and mentally challenging, but the experience had taught him the importance of mental strength and the ability to push beyond personal limits.

The actor expressed pride in himself for completing the demanding experience, while appreciating the lessons he had learnt along the way.

He wrote: “You never really know where certain decisions will take you or how much they can change the course of your life.

“If you had told me a few years ago that I’d one day be wearing this uniform, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. This was never a path I imagined for myself, but here we are.

“The past few weeks have been some of the most mentally and physically challenging weeks of my life. But if there’s one thing this experience has taught me, it’s just how powerful the mind really is. We’re capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for and I’m incredibly proud of myself for seeing this through and grateful for everything this experience has taught me.

“Would I want to do it all over again? Absolutely not 🙏😂. But I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.”

Speaking at the campaign launch, Governor Bago pledged to secure all the votes in Niger State for Tinubu and other APC candidates.

He expressed confidence in the party’s chances in the state, assuring residents that a second term in office would bring additional benefits.

Bago also urged the electorate to vote for APC candidates in the presidential, governorship, senatorial and House of Representatives elections.

Prominent figures at the campaign flag-off included APC North-Central Zonal Vice-Chairman, Mu’azu Rijau, who represented the party’s National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda.
