Manchester City 4-0 Liverpool: Haaland's hat trick leads City to FA Cup semifinal

Manchester City eased into the FA Cup semifinals as they battered Liverpool 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, with Erling Haaland grabbing a clinical hat trick. After an even first half, Liverpool imploded just before the break with Virgil van Dijk giving away a penalty kick which Haaland converted and moments later Haaland superbly headed home a second. Antoine Semenyo scored a superb goal, created by the brilliant Rayan Cherki, to make it 3-0 early in the second half and Haaland finished off another fine team move to seal his hat trick and make it 4-0 before the hour mark.

At 4-0 Mohamed Salah had a penalty kick saved by James Trafford to sum up Liverpool's miserable day as most of their away fans left way before the final whistle as Arne Slot's side were so poor defensively.
