Manchester City 3 - 2 Twente
2' Shaun Wright-Phillips Goal 1 - 0
17' 1 - 1 Goal Eljero Elia
57' Robinho Goal 2 - 1
62' Benjani Mwaruwari Goal 3 - 1
65' 3 - 2 Goal Rob Wielaert
Robinho lit up the night sky as Manchester City got off to a winning start in Group A of the UEFA Cup.
The club's record buy proved he is a class act by curling a shot from just inside the penalty area over goalkeeper Sander Boschker in the 56th minute.
It was his seventh goal of the season and gave City the advantage after a sublime pass from Stephen Ireland.
Robinho also hit the post twice but City had their work cut out against feisty Dutch opponents, managed by former England boss Steve McClaren.
Shaun Wright-Phillips and Benjani Mwaruwari were also on target but Twente responded with goals from Eljero Elia and Robbie Wielaert.
