Manchester City
April 2026
Manchester City thrashed Liverpool 4-0 to reach the FA Cup semi-finals, with Erling Haaland scoring a hat-trick in a one-sided second half. The result also set a new record for consecutive wins in the competition as City stretched their run to 18 straight matches. Haaland opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Virgil van Dijk fouled Nico O’Reilly, then added two more around Antoine Semenyo’s goal as City overpowered Liverpool. Mohamed Salah also missed a penalty, and City’s win sent them through while extending the longest winning streak ever recorded in the FA Cup
