Manchester City eliminated Luton after beating them 6-2 at Kenilworth Road in a matchup from the 1/8 finals of the FA Cup, and the Sky Blues are among the last 8 teams in the tournament that they won in the past season.
Erling Haaland scored the 1st goal in the match after only 3 minutes as Kevin De Bruyne provided the assist. The same thing happened in the 18th minute when the Norwegian forward netted his 2nd goal in the game as the Belgium midfielder’s 2nd assist in the match.

Haaland finished his hattrick in the 40th minute to give the Sky Blues 3 goals lead as his teammate De Bruyne finished his hattrick of assists.
In the final minutes of the 1st half, Jordan Clark scored a fantastic goal from distance after Ross Barkley’s assist.
At the beginning of the 2nd half in the 52nd minute, Jordan Clark scored his 2nd goal after Barkley’s assist again and the home side trail was only 1 goal.
However, after only 3 minutes, the unstoppable duo tonight struck again. Haaland netted his 4th goal after De Bruyne’s 4th assist. Erling needed another 3 minutes only to score his 5th goal in the match as this time the only difference is that Bernardo Silva assisted to the Norwegian.
Erling Haaland is the first player to score 5+ goals in a single Champions League game and 5+ goals in a single FA Cup game.

Manchester City made it 6-2 in the 72nd minute after Mateo Kovacic’s goal, as that was the final goal in the match that will be remembered with the phenomenal performances from Haaland and De Bruyne.
Kevin De Bruyne has now provided more assists (11) than any other Man City player this season. 🤪 https://t.co/x5GVIc6tvG
