City had drawn all three games in the competition and conceded after 24 minutes in Monza when Elisa Bartoli nodded home.

Aoba Fujino responded for the Women's Super League side with two goals in the space of 11 minutes to hand them a 2-1 lead at half-time.

Kerstin Casparij extended City's advantage after the restart with a chipped strike and Grace Clinton stabbed home from an awkward angle in the 70th minute to wrap up the three points.

The win comes three days after beating West Ham 5-0 in the WSL to move to the summit and Blindkilde Brown believes the side are adapting to balancing midweek matches with the league.

In quotes reported on the City website, Blindkilde Brown said: "We're really happy, because we really needed the three points to bring us up the table. We've had some tough results in the last few games, but this was a great result.

"We're getting more used to it now [playing in the UWCL]. Obviously, it's midweek games and WSL games so it is a big load, but I think we're getting used to it, and I think that's showing in our game."

City's first Champions League win this season moves them into seventh in the standings and boss Andree Jeglertz hopes to target a spot in the next round.

"Inter made it difficult for us, they played different to what we expected so it took some time to identify the challenge," Jeglertz said, in quotes reported on the UEFA website.

"But once we did it we got on the right track. Now we want to progress to the next round and take it from there."
