Haaland bags hat-trick as Man City hammer Liverpool 4-0 in FA Cup quarter-final
Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick as Manchester City crushed Liverpool 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday to cruise into the FA Cup semi-finals and Chelsea also booked their spot in the last four with a 7-0 win over third-tier strugglers Port Vale, Reuters reported.
Champions Liverpool played well in the opening half-hour with Mohamed Salah wasting an early chance, but once Haaland had scored from the spot in the 37th minute after a foul on Nico O’Reilly their resistance crumbled.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk conceded the penalty with a rash challenge, and there was little the Dutch defender could do as City played scintillating attacking football for the remainder of the game, according to Reuters.
