Manchester City booked a place in the FA Cup semi-finals with a dominant 4-0 victory over Liverpool, powered by a brilliant hat-trick from Erling Haaland.
Haaland’s clinical finishing proved too much for Liverpool, as the striker found the net three times to seal an emphatic win. City controlled the game with attacking flair and defensive discipline, leaving their opponents unable to break through.
The result marks City’s eighth straight appearance in the FA Cup semi-finals, extending their own record in the competition. Under manager Pep Guardiola, the team also set a new milestone by winning 18 consecutive home matches in the FA Cup—surpassing the long-standing record of 17 held by Clapham Rovers in the 19th century.
With this victory, Manchester City edge closer to history, needing just one more win to become the first side to reach four consecutive FA Cup finals. The team has also maintained a strong run away from Wembley, remaining unbeaten in FA Cup matches outside the venue since their 2018 loss to Wigan Athletic.
City’s performance reinforces their status as one of the top contenders for this season’s FA Cup title, with Haaland once again at the heart of their success.
