Manchester City seem certain to progress from the previous 32 of the Women’s Champions League as they scored five goals in the final 25 minutes to thrash Lugano 7-1 at the first leg.
Georgia Stanway gave the side a 25th-minute lead, however, Kaela Dickerman levelled just before half time.
Aoife Mannion’s penalty minutes after the restart put City in command.
It was sealed by 2 Pauline Bremer targets.
City should have been out of sight before the Swiss league runners-up of season equalised.
While Weir struck the crossbar with a long-range work the post struck from close range and just shot after rounding the goalkeeper.

But City were back in front after the restart when Mannion wrong-footed goalkeeper Kelsey Dossey along with her spot-kick after Lee Geum-min was hit at the box.
Bremer lob after Steph Houghton pass ended the match before slotting home the fourth, and also Alana O’Neill turned indoors.
The fifth from Weir had been a serene attack after great control 12 metres out, and she struck the post a minute later.
