Haaland thrashes Luton and Manchester City continues in the FA Cup
‘Citizens’ win 6-2, Haaland scored five, De Bruyne assisted four
Manchester City came to the small but charismatic Kenilworth Road to show why they are possibly the best team in the world. In one of the best – if not the best – performances of this season, Pep Guardiola’s men gave Luton no chance and advanced in the FA Cup, winning 6-2.
The first half proved to be a real nightmare for central defender Mengi, in charge of marking Erling Haaland: three times, Kevin De Bruyne found the Norwegian appearing behind him and, against Krul, there was no chance: three goals from the bomber, who capped off one of Manchester City’s most dominant first halves in recent memory.
It wasn’t perfect because Clark, with a great goal from outside the area, reduced the score.
The second half opened with Luton 2-3 , again by Clark , who made us dream, but there was no stopping the Norwegian giant… and the Belgian magician. Now following Walker ‘s pass , De Bruyne served for Haaland ‘s fourth , who, with assistance from Bernardo Silva , added the fifth! The sixth would end up coming from Kovacic ‘s feet , a few minutes later, and thus ended the match.
In addition to the dominance of the skyblues , who always controlled the game in the offensive third and completely dismantled the man-to-man marking that Rob Edwards had prepared, the individual value is simply too great. Against players like Haaland and De Bruyne it becomes difficult…
