Erling Haaland delivered a stunning performance, scoring five goals, as Manchester City cruised to a 6-2 victory over Luton in the FA Cup. Kevin De Bruyne also starred, providing four assists in the remarkable match. Haaland’s feat marked the first time a Manchester City player had scored five goals in an FA Cup game since Frank Roberts achieved the same feat in 1926 against Crystal Palace.

The scoring started early, with Haaland netting twice in the opening 25 minutes. De Bruyne orchestrated both goals, showcasing his playmaking skills. Despite Luton pulling two goals back, City’s clinical finishing proved too much. Haaland completed his hat-trick and added two more goals, while Ross Barkley and Mateo Kovacic also found the net. The victory was marred by an injury to Jack Grealish, who looked distraught when he was substituted in the first half. His absence could be a significant loss for both City and England.

For Haaland, the performance highlighted his exceptional scoring ability, taking his tally to 27 goals in 29 games this season. Despite missing several chances in a recent game against Chelsea, Haaland’s scoring prowess remains unparalleled. City’s focus now shifts to a crucial run of Premier League games against top-seven clubs, including a highly anticipated clash with Liverpool. The result sets up an exciting battle for City as they aim for success on multiple fronts.

Here is the highlight video of Luton Town vs. Manchester City, which ended with a 2-6 victory for Manchester City.
