FA Cup: Man City crush Liverpool to book first semi-final spot

By Seyi Babalola

Manchester City have become the first team to reach this season’s FA Cup semi-finals.

Pep Guardiola’s side defeated Liverpool 4–0 in the first quarter-final match on Saturday.

Erling Haaland opened the scoring from the spot after Nico O’Reilly was fouled in the area, and he added a second just before half-time.

Antoine Semenyo struck early in the second half, finishing off a fine team move, before Haaland completed his hat-trick.

The other quarter-final ties to be played today will see Arsenal travel to Southampton, while Chelsea host Port Vale.
