During the match, Manchester City took an early lead in the tenth minute and West Ham equalised nine minutes later through an own goal from 27-year-old Ruben Dias.
Erling then scored his second goal in the 30th minute to put City 2-1 up.
West Ham came back strongly but were unable to capitalise on a shot that hit the woodwork.
Erling scored his third goal in the 83rd minute to seal the victory over West Ham.
His appearance at the match comes after Oasis fans were left disappointed after the band announced that all tickets for their summer tour had sold out.
Music lovers stood in line for eight hours to get a ticket.
General sale of the 90s band began at 8am in Ireland and 9am in the UK, following a limited pre-sale on Friday.
Followers were quick to post photos of their ‘ticket machines’ and flocked to laptops, iPads and mobile phones in an attempt to increase their chances of winning the coveted tickets.

Bookmakers put the odds of getting one of the 1.4 million tickets on Friday at just 14/1. However, technical problems at Ticketmaster have not improved the odds.
And now the unlucky 93 percent of applicants have been heartbroken – after Liam Gallagher and Noel confirmed all 17 of their shows had sold out.
In a message posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, said: ‘Oasis Live ’25 tickets for UK and Ireland are SOLD OUT.’
‘Be wary of counterfeit and invalid tickets appearing on the secondary market.’
‘Tickets can ONLY be resold, at face value, through Ticketmaster and Twickets.’
Thousands of fans were left devastated after losing access to Ticketmaster, Gigs and Tours and SeeTickets.
Some had to queue to sit in the waiting room, while others reported being turned away from ticket sales websites when they tried to get to the front.
Angry fans, who called themselves ‘real’ fans, claimed they had missed the chance to see the Britpop band’s comeback tour for young people who ‘only know Wonderwall’.
The 17-concert tour runs from July 4 to August 17, kicking off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium before heading to Manchester’s Heaton Park, London’s Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh’s Murrayfield and Dublin’s Croke Park.
The chaos surrounding ticket sales comes after Noel reportedly visits the South of France with his brother Liam in preparation for their reunion tour.
Liam, 51, jetted off to the French Riviera on Friday with his mother Peggy, 81, fiancée Debbie Gwyther and his rescue dog Buttons, while Noel was spotted at his recording studio in north London.
However, sources claim that Noel will be joining them soon and their mother is very happy about it.
“Peggy is overjoyed that her boys have finally patched things up after more than a decade of not speaking to each other,” a source said The sun.
“She has remained close to both of them and has never taken sides in their fights. The prospect of them all being on holiday together is a dream come true.”
MailOnline has contacted representatives of Oasis for comment.
The guitarist and brother Liam announced on Tuesday that they will be back on stage together for the first time in 15 years to perform in the UK and Ireland.
On Matt Morgan’s podcast he said: ‘I go everywhere on holiday. I go to the South of France for a week and then I go to Ibiza for a week.
Music lovers queued for eleven hours to get their hands on the gold-dust passes, but thousands were left distraught after being locked out of ticketing sites
The 17-date tour runs from July 4 to August 17, kicking off at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff before heading to Heaton Park in Manchester and Wembley Stadium in London.

The news comes after Stockport indie band Blossoms officially signed to support Oasis at their Heaton Park concerts in Manchester
‘Then I’m going to London for a week and then I’m going to Greece for a couple of weeks. I might go to LA after that to visit some friends.’
This came after Noel reportedly ‘gave in and agreed’ to the Oasis reunion during a series of phone calls to his brother Liam, ending their 15-year feud.
The brothers’ troubled relationship reached a head in 2009, after a backstage altercation in Paris led to Noel leaving the iconic Britpop band.
In recent years, Liam has wanted to make amends with his brother and reform Oasis, but his older brother would have none of it.
But as Liam closed his set at Reading Festival, he hinted that an announcement could be made at 8am on Tuesday. A short clip of a sign in the style of the Oasis logo was projected onto a large screen above the stage and subsequently shared to Oasis and Liam’s official Instagram and X accounts.
