00:00A hat-trick from Erling Haaland helped Manchester City to a 4-2 pre-season win over error-prone
00:05Chelsea in Columbus.
00:07Haaland, 24, scored twice in the first five minutes, profiting from two disastrous Chelsea
00:12mistakes as Enzo Maresca's side gifted the Premier League champions an early lead.
00:17The first goal came from a Tosin Atarabayoyo loose pass, with Levi Colwell bringing down
00:22Haaland for a fourth-minute penalty, which the Norwegian scored after a retake.
00:27Haaland doubled City's lead almost straight away when he intercepted a miscued Moises
00:31Caicedo pass to slot in.
00:33Another quick-fire pair of soft goals in the second half saw Pep Guardiola's champions
00:38build a commanding lead, City's third coming as substitute Raheem Sterling's mistake enabled
00:42Oscar Bob to score through a near-post shot in the 55th minute.
00:46And Haaland got his hat-trick just one minute later after another error from Malo Gusto.
00:52Chelsea did get two goals back after Raheem Sterling bollied in a cross after 59 minutes
00:56and then Noni Modouk scored on the counter-attack in the 88th minute in front of 68,000 supporters
01:01at Ohio Stadium.
01:03Maresca insisted that his team played well in a strange game and both managers also blamed
01:07the dry pitch for errors in possession.
01:10City now return to the UK to face Manchester United in the Community Shield next Saturday.
01:16Meanwhile, Chelsea remain in the United States for a match against Real Madrid on Tuesday
01:20night before facing Inter Milan at Stamford Bridge next Sunday.
01:25Maresca's approach clearly needs refining.
01:28It is clear to see that former Leicester boss Maresca is needing time to bed in his tactical
01:32approach after just five weeks in the job at Chelsea, compared to Guardiola's eight
01:36years in charge.
01:38All four goals were due to mistakes playing out from the back and while Maresca has said
01:41errors are inevitable with his approach, he believes it will ultimately lead to progress.
01:47Chelsea did, at times, create openings, including two chances missed by Christopher Nkunku and
01:51one from Enzo Fernandes.
01:54But City also had 15 senior players out because of international commitments at Euro 2024
01:59and the Copa America, 10 more than Chelsea.
