Ferran Torres scored his first Manchester City hat-trick as the newly-crowned English champions twice came from behind to beat Newcastle 4-3 on Friday. With a third Premier League title in four years sealed with three games to spare, Pep Guardiola again took the chance to hand a number of his fringe players an opportunity to shine two weeks ahead of the Champions League final.
Goalkeeper Scott Carson was handed his City debut at 35 and a first Premier League appearance for almost 10 years. But it was Torres who made the strongest case to be involved against Chelsea in Porto on May 29 with a trio of fine finishes. Victory opens up City's unassailable lead at the top of the table to 13 points over Manchester United.
