Premier League rivals were in pre-season action in the USA on Saturday.
ERLING HAALAND ’S HAT-TRICK, including two goals in the first five minutes, gave Manchester City a 4-2 win over Chelsea in Saturday’s pre-season friendly in Columbus, Ohio.
Haaland opened the scoring with a penalty in the fourth minute and, after Moises Caicedo gave the ball away in the Chelsea half, smashed a right-footed shot into the right corner for a 2-0 City lead in the fifth minute — only 17 seconds after the restart. Haaland then completed his hat -trick in the 56th minute after City forced a turnover in Chelsea territory.
Raheem Sterling answered for Chelsea in the 59th minute and Noni Madueke added a final goal in the 89th but it was too little and too late.
