Manchester City claimed an impressive 5-1 victory over Milan in a weather-hit friendly at the Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.

Stevan Jovetic gaved the Premier League champions the lead after 12 minutes with a low shot that crept in at the near post and three minutes later Gaël Clichy picked out Scott Sinclair in the box and he scored the second from close range.

Midway through the first half Jesús Navas’s acrobatic effort from just outside the box took a huge deflection and left the Milan goalkeeper, Michael Agazzi, with no chance.

Rampant City added a fourth after 27 minutes when the Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho, who has been training with the club for the past few weeks, collected the ball on the edge of the box and turned 180 degrees before firing home.

Sulley Muntari pulled one back for Milan just before the break when he tapped in from close range at the home of NFL side the Pittsburgh Steelers.

After a delay due to lightning and heavy rain, the former City striker Mario Balotelli took to the field for the second half and had a goal ruled out for offside before Jovetic scored his second to make it 5-1.
