AS Roma vs. Manchester City: Score, Grades and Reaction from 2015 ICC

Raheem Sterling scored on his debut as Manchester City beat Roma on penalties at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Tuesday in the 2015 International Champions Cup, following a 2-2 draw in normal time.

Sterling was included in the starting lineup by City boss Manuel Pellegrini and was on the scoresheet three minutes in as he swept home the opener having been found beyond the Roma defence.

A Miralem Pjanic thunderbolt levelled things up five minutes later, before teenager Kelechi Iheanacho put City ahead again just after the break.

Adem Ljajic made it 2-2 with only minutes to go, meaning penalties were required to split the two sides.
