Celtic's new signing Kasper Schmeichel impressed in goal by making several good saves
Celtic inflicted a 4-1 defeat on Chelsea in their pre-season friendly at Notre Dame Stadium in Indiana.
The Scottish Premiership champions took the lead with Matt O'Riley's calm finish from Greg Taylor's pass, before O'Riley turned provider for Kyogo Furuhashi to double their advantage before half-time.
Chelsea had more possession and produced more shots at goal, but Celtic's new goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel was in impressive form to deny the Premier League side a route back into the game.
Celtic stretched their lead in the 76th minute as Luis Palma capitalised on a defensive mix-up by Robert Sanchez and Benoit Badiashile to roll in their third goal.
Palma then added an assist three minutes later as Mikey Johnston fired under Sanchez to add gloss to the scoreline for Celtic.
Chelsea's Christopher Nkunku beat Celtic's substitute goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo from the penalty spot to claim a late consolation.
The result on Saturday meant Celtic backed up their recent win against Manchester City to end their US tour with another victory over Premier League opposition.
Chelsea, who drew their opening match under new manager Enzo Maresca 2-2 against Wrexham, face Mexico's Club America in their next friendly.
