Shoot-out success for Blues
Chelsea overcame an injury-time equaliser from Wayne Rooney to defeat Manchester United 4-1 on penalties in the Community Shield at Wembley.
FA Cup winners Chelsea appeared set for success in 90 minutes as Ricardo Carvalho and, controversially, Frank Lampard scored in the second half to overturn Nani's opener.
But Wayne Rooney then netted an injury-time equaliser for Premier League champions United to level the scores at 2-2 and set up a penalty shoot-out, which Chelsea won as Ryan Giggs and Patrice Evra failed from the spot.
Nani opened the scoring when hitting a long-range, right-footed effort past Petr Cech, who could have done better, in the 10th minute.
United then slipped into the groove which has earned three back-to-back top-flight titles as both Park Ji-sung and Dimitar Berbatov forced fine saves from Cech.
Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea, though, kept Sir Alex Ferguson's men at bay until half-time and they were rewarded for their efforts with an equaliser in the 52nd minute.
Carvalho, who was linked with Inter Milan in the summer, charged forward and, after Foster collided with Didier Drogba when attempting to punch clear, the centre-back dived to head Florent Malouda's cross into an unguarded net.
Chelsea then took the lead in debatable circumstances as Lampard netted from 16 yards after a quick, 71st minute break, but United were upset that play had not been stopped after Michael Ballack grounded Evra in the build-up.
United, though, hit back in stoppage time as Rooney collected a pass from substitute Giggs to dink over Cech and set up a shoot-out.
Chelsea then gained revenge for their defeat to United on penalties in the 2008 UEFA Champions League final as Giggs and Evra saw their tame efforts saved.
