Manchester City have won the first major trophy of the season thanks to a come-from-behind win over Sunderland at Wembley this afternoon. Mike Norman has all the In-Play odds matched...

Manchester City were matched at a high of 11.521/2 to win this season's Capital One Cup, but they did it the hard way by coming from a goal down before getting the better of Sunderland in Sunday's Wembley final.

The Black Cats - matched at 100.099/1 to lift the trophy - shocked the overwhelming favourites inside 10 minutes when Fabio Borini shrugged off Vincent Kompany inside the area and finished superbly with the outside of his foot into the far corner.

Borini was matche at 20.019/1 in the First Goalscorer market, while the 0-1 Half Time Score was matched at 15.529/2.

Sunderland nearly went further ahead early in the second half but Ki Sung-yueng's swirling 30-yard strike was brilliantly tipped over by Costel Pantilimon. And shortly after that, another moment of brilliance, this time in Sunderland's half, brought City level.

Pablo Zabaleta played the ball square to Yaya Toure who looked up before unleashing a stunning 30-yard swerving shot into the top corner of the Sunderland goal. The Ivorian was matched at 3.613/5 To Score anytime.

And just 100 seconds later Man City were in front, thanks to another brilliant goal, this time from Samir Nasri. Aleksandar Kolarov's cross was partially cleared, but the on-rushing Nasri shot on the bounce, cutting across the ball to send it bending into the corner of net.

Gus Poyet's men tried desperately to get back on level terms but they were always vulnerable to the counter attack as the clock ticked by, and in the 90th minute Jesus Navas - matched at 17.016/1 to score anytime - capped a fine breakaway move to give Man City their first trophy of the season.

Manuel Pellergrini's men were matched at a high of 3.259/4 to win in 90 minutes, while the 3-1 Correct Score was matched at 14.013/1.

City are still fighting on two fronts domestically and can be backed at 2.8415/8 to win the Premier League title and at 1.981/1 to win the FA Cup.
