The former Liverpool forward scored in just the third minute but the Premier League club were twice pegged back by great Giallorossi goals before winning in a shootout
Raheem Sterling scored on his first appearance in a Manchester City shirt but his team were twice pegged back by Roma before winning on penalties at the MCG.
The former Liverpool man was subjected to boos but netted within three minutes to give Manuel Pellegrini's side the edge in their International Champions Cup encounter.
Miralem Pjanic equalised five minutes later with a magnificent effort but City youngster Kelehi Ihenacho restored the Premier League team's lead when he capitalised on an error from Ashley Cole shortly after the half-time break.
Adem Ljajic ensured that the game would go to penalties with a superb free kick in the 87th minute but an entertaining shootout ended in victory for Pellegrini's men, with goalkeeper Joe Hart scoring one and saving two.
