Manchester City come from behind to beat Inter 4-1 in Monza

Manchester City came from behind to beat Inter 4-1 in Monza, in the Women's Champions League, Europe's top club competition for women's teams. It was City's first win in the competition this season.

Inter struck first. Elisa Bartoli rose to meet a cross and headed the ball home to give the Italian side the lead. City did not stay behind for long. Aoba Fujino scored twice in the first half to turn the game around, and the visitors went in ahead.

The second half added two more for City. Kerstin Casparij and Grace Clinton both scored, and the result was settled. The Guardian's match report

Before this game, City's results in the competition had been three draws, against Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. A draw means both teams share the points, so each side leaves with a point rather than a win. Beating Inter gives City their first three points of the campaign from a win, after a run of games that had ended level.

The competition is played in league form this season, with every team facing a range of opponents and the results adding up to a table. Each win is worth more than a draw, so a result like this one can shift a team up the standings quickly. For a side that had been holding its own against some of the strongest teams in Europe, a comfortable win at the other end of the scoring is a useful change of mood.

Inter will look at the scoreline and see a team that moved in front and then could not hold on. City will see a side that took its chances, kept pushing after going behind, and found a second half to match. Both teams will go back to their league and their next fixtures with plenty to think about.
