Japan international Takumi Minamino scored his first goal for Liverpool in the Community Shield against Arsenal on Saturday, but the English Premier League champion lost in a penalty shootout.

Minamino, who transferred from Austrian champion Salzburg in January, slotted past Emiliano Martinez in the 73rd minute at Wembley Stadium to make it 1-1 before the match was forced into penalties.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp praised Minamino's performance and called the 25-year-old's maiden strike an important step in his career with the club.
