Manchester City cruised to victory over a dismal Milan in Pittsburgh as they won out 5-1 winners in
their International Champions Cup opener.
Manuel Pellegrini's men stormed into an early 2-0 lead thanks to strikes from Stefan Jovetic and Scott Sinclair, the pair capitalising on a sloppy Milan defence which
struggled with City's pace down the right flank.
City continued to dominate and added a third as Jesus Navas sent a deflected acrobatic effort beyond Michael Agazzi in the Milan goal, before Nigerian youngster Kelechi Iheanacho grabbed his second goal
in as many games with a toe poke from the edge of the area.
Sulley Muntari got on the end of Alex's knock-back to pull one back for the Serie A side before the game was almost abandoned at the break following severe weather conditions, including a tornado
warning.
The sides did emerge for the second half following a lengthy delay and City picked up where they had left off by adding a fifth as
Jovetic grabbed his second of the evening, to put the gloss on a formidable City display.
