PSV Eindhoven secured a 2-1 victory against Go Ahead Eagles in the Johan Cruijff Shield on Sunday, but not without Croatian star Ivan Perisic taking a nasty-looking tumble.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Eagles had gone ahead in the first half through Mathis Suray’s 35th-minute opener.<\/p>\n

But PSV fought back after the break to earn a comeback victory.<\/p>\n

An own goal from Eagles’ defender Gerrit Nauber brought PSV level, before Sergino Dest grabbed the winner six minutes from time.<\/p>\n

Played between the winners of the Eredivisie and the KNVB Cup, the Johan Cruyff Shield is often referred to as the ‘Dutch Super Cup’.<\/p>\n

Like the English FA Community Shield<\/strong><\/a>, it is the traditional curtain-raiser for the Dutch season.<\/p>\n

In England, this year’s Community Shield will be between Premier League winners Liverpool and FA Cup holders Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n

That game will take place at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, 10 August.<\/p>\n

But the Dutch fixture included an unfortunate incident for ex-Premier League winger Ivan Perisic.<\/p>\n

Ivan Perisic Faceplant Takes Out Journalist’s Laptop<\/h2>\n

Former Tottenham star Perisic found himself tumbling over the advertising hoardings, taking out a journalist’s laptop in the process.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old crossed a ball in from the by-line, but was unable to halt his forward momentum and went careering into the boards behind the goal.<\/p>\n

He tried to put his foot out to stop himself, but to no avail as his studs slipped straight down the board, sending him head-over-heels into a crowd of journalists and photographers on the other side.<\/p>\n
