Erling Haaland’s all five goals in FA Cup that scripted history for Manchester City

Haaland also silenced his critics who started questioning his goal-scoring instincts after an off-game against Chelsea in the Premier League. The Norwegian goal-scoring machine has netted 27 goals this season already despite missing a few games due to injury last year.

Meanwhile, De Bruyne was also at his very best against Luton as he linked up well with his number 9 and provided four assists to make his job a bit easier.

Haaland didn’t take much time to score his first goal of the match which came in the third minute and it was no stopping for him after that. He smashed the net at regular intervals after opening the scoring as it took him just 58 minutes to get his 5 goals. De Bruyne assisted him net the first four while Bernardo Silva helped him pack the punch.

Saluting De Bruyne’s role in his demolition of Luton, Haaland said: “Kevin is massive. It’s a pleasure playing with him. We know what we both want from each other.”

On his own form since returning from a foot injury that sidelined him for two months, Haaland added: “I’m getting back to my best. Finally I’m feeling good. It’s an amazing feeling. It’s coming, we’re coming. Exciting times ahead. We are ready to attack.”

Meanwhile, City manager Pep Guardiola took him off the field in the 77th minute to give him some rest before their next big-ticket clash against rivals Manchester United in the Premier League at Etihad Stadium.
