Manchester City delivered a commanding performance against Liverpool, securing a 4-0 victory in the FA Cup quarter-final. Erling Haaland's hat-trick proved decisive as Pep Guardiola's side maintained their pursuit of domestic silverware, despite the manager watching from the stands.
Liverpool had opportunities through Mohamed Salah and Hugo Ekitike but failed to capitalize on their chances. James Trafford made crucial saves, including denying Salah's penalty. City's eighth consecutive FA Cup semi-final appearance was secured as Semenyo added a third goal before Haaland completed his treble.
