Yokohama F. Marinos 3-5 Manchester City: Pep Guardiola's side come from behind to earn first pre-season win in Tokyo

Manchester City kicked off their preparations for the new season with a 5-3 win over Japanese side Yokohama F. Marinos.

Pep Guardiola opted for a strong team with the likes of Jack Grealish, John Stones and Kyle Walker given starts.

But City fell behind through Anderson Lopes' rebound in the 27th minute before right-back Ko Matsubara doubled Yokohama F. Marinos' lead.

John Stones got the treble winners in touching distance in the 41st minute, finding the top corner after a lay-off from Julian Alvarez.

The Argentine striker turned goalscorer two minutes later with a close-range finish after a horror mistake by goalkeeper Ichimori.
