Erling Haaland's hat-trick was instrumental in Manchester City's 4-2 victory over Chelsea in Columbus during pre-season.
The 24-year-old striker capitalized on two early errors made by Chelsea, with the first goal resulting from a misplaced pass by Tosin Adarabioyo.
Haaland was brought down by Levi Colwill, leading to a penalty that he successfully converted after a re-take.
He then extended City's lead by intercepting a wayward pass from Moises Caicedo.
In the second half, City further solidified their advantage with two more goals, the third one being scored by Oscar Bobb after a mistake by Raheem Sterling.
