Haaland's Hat-Trick Sends Manchester City to FA Cup Semis
Erling Haaland's hat-trick propelled Manchester City to a commanding 3-0 victory over Liverpool, marking their record eighth consecutive FA Cup semi-final appearance. The match took place at Anfield, where City opened the scoring in the 38th minute with a penalty converted by Haaland after Virgil van Dijk fouled Nico O'Reilly inside the box.
Haaland doubled the lead just before halftime with a header from an Antoine Semenyo cross. Despite Liverpool's attempts, including a missed penalty by Mohamed Salah, they could not capitalize on their chances.
City sealed the win early in the second half when Semenyo assisted Haaland for his third goal. This victory maintained City's momentum and kept their hopes alive for a domestic cup double this season, while Liverpool's manager, Jürgen Klopp, faced increasing pressure following the defeat.
