Manchester City v Manchester United - FA Community Shield
Nani almost always showed up all guns blazing for the Manchester derby

Nani's injury-time winner wrapped up an excellent comeback for Manchester United in a thrilling Community Shield encounter which ended 2-3.

Joleon Lescott headed in the first goal of the game and Edin Dzeko soon made it 2-0 with a wonderful strike from outside the box.

Chris Smalling reduced the deficit to one in the 52nd minute with a good finish and some brilliant teamwork from United was rewarded with the crucial equalising goal in the 58th minute.

A mix up between Manchester City's defenders gifted United the winner, as Nani calmly went past Joe Hart and slotted the ball into an empty net to complete an excellent comeback for his side.

This win ensured a 19th Community Shield victory for the Red Devils who went on to lose the league title to City by goal difference.
