LONDON – Manchester City staged a second-half comeback to beat Sunderland 3-1 in the League Cup final on Sunday, with exquisite goals from Yaya Toure and Samir Nasri inside two minutes sparking the recovery.

In a flat first-half by quadruple-chasing City, Fabio Borini put Premier League struggler Sunderland in front after 10 minutes.

But there was more urgency from City after the break, with Toure curling in the equalizer in the 55th minute and Nasri quickly volleying in the crucial second.

Jesus Navas completed a 90th-minute counterattack to net the third.
