At 4 a.m. on February 28, 2024, the English FA Cup ushered in a key battle. Manchester City visited Luton Town and won 6-2 thanks to Haaland's outstanding performance to successfully advance to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
From the start of the game, Manchester City showed strong attacking firepower. Just three minutes into the game, Kevin De Bruyne's clever pass set up Haaland's opener. In the 18th minute, Haaland once again took advantage of De Bruyne's through ball to extend the score to 2-0. Towards the end of the first half, Erling Haaland scored another hat-trick to give City a 3-1 lead heading into the break.
After another battle, the Luton team did not give up resistance. Clark's two goals briefly revived the suspense of the game, but Haaland's performance continued. In the 55th minute, he received a pass from De Bruyne to make it 4-2. Then, B's pass gave Haaland his fifth goal of the game to give City a 5-2 lead.
In the 73rd minute, Kovacic's long-range shot was the icing on the cake to make it 6-2. At full-time, Manchester City won away and successfully qualified for the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
In this campaign, Haaland's performance is undoubtedly the most eye-catching. Wuzi Dengko not only showed his outstanding scoring ability, but also reflected the excellent attacking strength of Manchester City as a whole. De Bruyne's four assists also contributed to it, and his tacit cooperation with Haaland became the most lethal of Manchester City's attack.
