City delivered a convincing performance to deservedly claim our first win in Europe this season.
Andrée Jeglertz’s side had drawn our opening three League Phase matches against Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, but an Aoba Fujino brace and strikes from Kerstin Casparij and Grace Clinton delivered all three points.
City had to come from behind in Monza, with Elisa Bartoli heading home the opener against the run of play.

But a quickfire double from Fujino handed the Blues the advantage heading into the break.
Kerstin Casparij put further daylight between the sides with a smart finish after an intricate team move to make it 3-1 before the hour.
And the win was sealed with 20 to play thanks to a smart Clinton finish at the far post, with the midfielder sneaking home Lauren Hemp’s teasing cross.
