Haaland scores 5, De Bruyne assists 4 in Man City FA Cup rout

Erling Haaland roared back to his best form with a five-goal salvo as Manchester City thumped Luton Town 6-2 at Kenilworth Road to reach the quarterfinals of the FA Cup on Tuesday.

Luton had no answer to the marauding Norwegian who bagged his eighth City hat trick before half-time and then scored twice more after the break to kill off a stirring Luton revival.

Haaland is the first player to score five or more goals in an FA Cup match for a top-division club since George Best netted six for Manchester United against Northampton Town in 1970, according to Stats Perform.
