Man City striker Bianchi scores on debut

Manchester City's new striker Rolando Bianchi marked his debut with a goal as Sven-Goran Eriksson's side beat Swedish side Orgryte 4-1 in a friendly.

Signed from Reggina for a reported £8.8m, the Italian forward opened the scoring with a close-range finish.

Orgryte equalised through Boyd Mwila on 37 minutes before Bernardo Corradi put City 2-1 up in the second half after a shot from Shaleum Logan hit the post.

Georgios Samaras headed City's third, with youngster Logan getting a fourth.

The 24-year-old Bianchi, who is a former Italy Under-21 international striker, scored 18 goals in Serie A last season.
