Haaland Hat-Trick Fires Man City Past Liverpool Into FA Cup Semi-Finals

The result heightens scrutiny on Liverpool's season before a daunting Champions League trip to PSG.

Overview

  • Manchester City, which routed Liverpool 4-0 on Saturday at the Etihad, reached a record eighth straight FA Cup semi-final.
  • Erling Haaland scored three and Antoine Semenyo added one during an 18-minute burst split across half-time.
  • The win extended City's FA Cup home streak to 18 victories, eclipsing a benchmark that dated back to the 1870s.
  • Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, who has said he will leave this summer, saw a second-half penalty saved as pressure builds on head coach Arne Slot before Wednesday's visit to Paris Saint-Germain.
  • Elsewhere in the quarter-finals, Chelsea host bottom-of-League-One Port Vale later on Saturday at Stamford Bridge with the hosts favoured despite defensive injuries and a suspension.
