- Man City won their latest FA Cup outing
- City scored four goals against Liverpool
- Two goals have been nominated for an FA Cup award
Antoine Semenyo and Erling Haaland are both nominees of an FA Cup award after landing on the scoresheet for Manchester City against Liverpool.
Man City smashed Liverpool 4-0 in the FA Cup quarter-finals. It was another dominant performance in the competition by Pep Guardiola’s team, who now face Southampton in the semi-finals.
The goal fest ended in a hat-trick for Erling Haaland. New signing Antoine Semenyo also grabbed one in the second half, courtesy of Rayan Cherki’s assist.
It was an encouraging afternoon for both forwards, as they have not had much joy in front of goal more recently.
