Haaland hat-trick gives Man City 4-2 win over Chelsea

A hat-trick from Erling Haaland helped Manchester City to a 4-2 pre-season win over error-prone Chelsea in Columbus.

Haaland, 24, scored twice in the first five minutes, profiting from two disastrous Chelsea mistakes as Enzo Maresca's side gifted the Premier League champions an early lead.

The first goal came from a Tosin Adarabioyo loose pass, with Levi Colwill bringing down Haaland for a fourth-minute penalty, which the Norwegian scored after a re-take.

Haaland doubled City's lead almost straight away when he intercepted a miscued Moises Caicedo pass to slot in.

Another quick-fire pair of soft goals in the second half saw Pep Guardiola's champions build a commanding lead, City's third coming as substitute Raheem Sterling's mistake enabled Oscar Bobb to score through a near-post shot in the 55th minute.
