Manchester City impressed against Chelsea this Saturday night in the United States. Although the team has not always impressed in its previous meetings, Erling Haaland was able to make the difference in a few minutes.
From the kick-off, Haaland showed that he was ready to shine. In the 4th minute, he opened the scoring by converting a penalty with surgical precision. This first goal gave confidence to the Norwegian giant, who quickly doubled the lead. Indeed, just a minute later, he intercepted a poor pass on the edge of the Chelsea area and, without hesitation, adjusted goalkeeper Robert Sanchez with a cross shot.
