City thrash and Haaland scores a hat-trick

Manchester City advanced without problems to the FA Cup semi-finals after thrashing secondary Burnley, 6-0, with Erling Haaland and Julián Álvarez in evidence.

At the Etihad Stadium, in Manchester, the Norwegian striker, who came from a “manita” scored against Leipzig, for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League, was back in the spotlight, scoring at 32, 35 and 59 minutes.

Afterwards, the Argentine Álvarez entered the scene, who had assisted the attacking partner for the first of the challenge, now writing his name on the list of scorers, in the 62nd and 73rd minutes, both served by De Bryune, with Palmer (68), for the half, scoring the fifth for the team led by Pep Guardiola.

The Portuguese central Rúben Dias was in the starting line-up for the hosts, while compatriot Bernardo Silva was not on the game sheet.
