Man City 4-2 Chelsea: Erling Haaland hat-trick beats Chelsea in pre-season win

Jack Grealish is using the disappointment around his Euro 2024 omission from the England squad to fuel further success in the coming season.

The winger, 28, helped set up the first goal with some sharp pressing and was close to Haaland throughout, allowing him to link up to create dangerous attacks.

“Jack has had an unbelievable three games,” Guardiola said. “I said the first game is about rhythm. Against Barcelona he made five shots, one goal and today he is aggressive.

“I remember perfectly the Jack I know. Not how he performs, but how he’s training and his behaviours, which are like two seasons ago. A lot of competition is there [in his position] and the best player who produces for the team will play.”

Haaland, of course, showed his sharpness for the new campaign with a deadly 56-minute hat-trick.

A host of Man City youngsters impressed, including Bobb who shot through Colwill’s legs for the goal, and could have scored another after a brilliant dribble.

Among City’s starters were Rico Lewis, James McAtee, who claimed two assists, Josh Wilson-Esbrand and Nico O’Reilly.

Julian Alvarez, Kevin De Bruyne, Jeremie Doku, Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden and Savinho are yet to begin pre-season with the main squad so Grealish, Haaland and Bobb could be the trio to start at Wembley Stadium against Manchester ******* next weekend.
