Manchester City's pre-season tour in the United States concluded with an exciting 4-2 victory over Chelsea, witnessed by 71,280 fans in Columbus, Ohio.
Erling Haaland was the star of the show, scoring a hat-trick, including two goals in the first five minutes. Oscar Bobb also found the net, securing a well-deserved win for Pep Guardiola's team in their last friendly before the 2024/25 season.
Raheem Sterling, a former City player, scored for Chelsea just before the hour mark, and Noni Madueke added another late on. However, these efforts didn’t overshadow City’s dominant performance.
Goalkeeper Stefan Ortega Moreno made two impressive saves, and James McAtee hit the post, suggesting City could have scored even more. This 4-2 victory sets the team up perfectly for next Saturday's Community Shield final against Manchester United.
