LONDON - Roberto Mancini insists Manchester City won't suffer any lasting damage from its Community Shield collapse against Manchester United as long as it learns from the Wembley defeat.
Mancini's side led 2-0 at half-time on Sunday after Joleon Lescott headed in a David Silva free-kick and Edin Dzeko beat United goalkeeper David De Gea from long range.
But the FA Cup winner was unable to hold on to its advantage as United hit back to equalize through Chris Smalling and Nani before the Portugal winger punished a mistake from Vincent Kompany to score the winner in second-half stoppage time.
