City picked up a deserved three points despite going 1-0 behind.
Coming into the game, we had drawn all three of our European matches, but there was to be no repeat in Monza, with a stunning attacking display on show for all to see.
Aoba Fujino was City’s saviour early on as she responded to us going behind by firing in a first half double to make Andrée Jeglertz’s team talk a little bit easier.
The introduction of Lauren Hemp ahead of the second half certainly made a difference too, with the winger setting up our fourth goal on the night.
Kerstin Casparij gave us a two-goal advantage with a quick strike on the turn soon after the break, before Grace Clinton squeezed in her back-post effort following a teasing Hemp cross to open her account for the season in style.
Below are some of the best images from our first European win this term...
