Erling Haaland helps Man City to comeback win over Chelsea

Manchester City earned a 3-1 comeback win over Chelsea at Etihad Stadium on Saturday to go back into the top four in the Premier League.

New signing Abdukodir Khusanov had a disastrous start to his City career, gifting Chelsea the opener in the third minute, but goals from Josko Gvardiol, Erling Haaland and Phil Foden spared him as Pep Guardiola's team bounced back from their harrowing Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in midweek.

City are fourth in the league on 41 points, while Chelsea now sit sixth on 40, with Newcastle United between the two teams.
