Erling Haaland delivered a standout performance on Saturday, netting a hat-trick to help Manchester City secure a dominant victory in the FA Cup.
The Norwegian striker scored three times in City’s 4-0 win over Liverpool during their quarter-final clash at the Etihad Stadium, sending Pep Guardiola’s side through to the semi-finals of the competition.
With the feat, Haaland has now recorded 12 hat-tricks across all competitions since joining Manchester City in July 2022.
The achievement places him ahead of Harry Kane, who has 11, making Haaland the leading hat-trick scorer among players in Europe’s top five leagues within that period.
The latest milestone further highlights the striker’s remarkable goal-scoring consistency since arriving in England.
Haaland will be aiming to maintain his fine form when Manchester City face Chelsea in their upcoming Premier League fixture at Stamford Bridge.
