Rolando Bianchi scored twice as Manchester City rounded off their tour of Sweden with a comfortable 4-0 hammering of Carlstad United.

The £8.8million Italian set up his countryman and strike partner Bernardo Corradi to round the goalkeeper and open the scoring after five minutes.

With 20 minutes on the clock the roles were reversed, allowing Bianchi to drive home for City’s second.

Sven-Goran Eriksson’s men wasted little time in making it three after the break as Bianchi swept home for his third in two games in his manager’s homeland.

Substitute keeper Kasper Schmeichel had to save a penalty after Micah Richards’ handball before another replacement, Marc Laird, struck a fourth from the edge of the box.
