Erling Haaland

Haaland scores ANOTHER hat-trick as City hit rivals for six in FA Cup domination.

City are the first team to book their place in the last four with the other three quarter-finals taking place on Sunday. Haaland has now scored at least a hat-trick in six of his 19 appearances at the Etihad this season. Haaland scored five as RB Leipzig were put to the sword in a 7-0 thrashing in the Champions League in midweek. Burnley are storming towards a return to the Premier League in Kompany’s first season in charge. Burnley manager Vincent Kompany endured a nightmare return to Manchester City on Saturday as Erling Haaland scored his sixth hat-trick of the season in a 6-0 rout that sent Pep Guardiola’s men into the FA Cup semi-finals. But on the pitch City showed no mercy towards their former captain as Haaland took his tally for the season to 42 goals.

Erling Haaland is breaking goal-scoring records for Manchester City this season and is changing expectations in the Premier League and English soccer.

Much of the discussion around Haaland this season has focused on whether or not he has improved Manchester City as a team. “I think the goalscoring record in general puts you in a certain bracket, a certain category. Haaland has now found the back of the net 42 times for City in all competitions this season.

If he continues to do that, he is going to be one of the best. He has the athleticism and pace and has a good feeling where the ball bounces. ‘I didn’t want him to break the record for Messi in the FA Cup,’ he quipped. ‘I had the feeling the players have started to feel we could not lose any game or it would be over. He is so positive and optimistic in his life. as he claims 'joy of life' is behind Norwegian's incredible goal scoring

Pep Guardiola said Erling Haaland is creating a "problem" for himself because he has been so good he's expected to score hat tricks in every game.

It's an honour to play Bayern and the semifinal in Wembley again. "We're in a good moment, definitely," Guardiola said. "This guy will have a problem in the future, people expect every game he scores three or four goals and this isn't going to happen," Guardiola said.

Erling Haaland is in no mood to stop scoring and bagged yet another hat-trick as Manchester City crushed Burnley 6-0.

Getty WHAT THEY SAID: "This guy will have a problem in the future, people will expect him to score three or four goals in each game and this isn't going to happen," the City coach said at a press conference. Haaland has scored eight goals in his last two matches, having struck five times in the Champions League against RB Leipzig in midweek before firing in three as his side beat Burnley 6-0 in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

He is as he is — a high-spec, Terminator-style No. He knows that he will have the chance, he will be there. But as it remains, he keeps scoring goals, from anywhere and everywhere, with any part of his body (even with his Samurai bun if he whims so), with minimum fuss, at any time of the game, in any part of the globe. Calling him a goalscorer is reductionist like all he knows is how to score goals. It is not just that he scores goals, but scores them at a bewildering frequency. He touched the ball just 30 times — but one in six ended up as a goal.

Vincent Kompany took his in-form Burnley side to Manchester City on an emotionally charged day when Erling Haaland again stole the headlines.

Shortly afterwards, he was gone, eliciting a cheer from young fans outside the media room not old enough to remember all his finest deeds as a player. “The biggest thing for me is that his game can still improve and he looks to me like a superstar who is still willing to improve and that’s exciting to see. Kompany was still at it on the touchline, wringing all he could out of a surreal day. Guardiola was a comparatively less visible touchline presence during the early knockings and he slumped in his chair with some thinking to do. A warm embrace with Pep Guardiola followed, and the Burnley manager struggled to deliver some final instructions to Vitinho above the din of his City anthem to the tune of Simon and Garfunkel’s Mrs. City went through the gears after halftime as Haaland added another matchball to his bulging collection and Julian Alvarez scored two goals courtesy of Kevin De Bruyne assists. A buoyant cup atmosphere was in full swing by the time Kompany emerged from the tunnel to rapturous applause, having stopped off to exchange pleasantries with Mike Summerbee, a City great from their previous golden era of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Erling Haaland existed on the margins for the first half hour, but the best players always use this time to gather information. When the Norway striker won a long punt from Ortega, he timed his run to collect Julian Alvarez’s return ball and outfoxed Burnley goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell with a deft one-touch finish. Kompany’s ex-teammate Craig Bellamy was among the first batch of post-takeover signings in January 2009 and proved a popular player during a brief and occasionally tumultuous stay. Signed from Hamburg for £6 million, Kompany joined City at the very end of that era on August 22, 2008. He’d have chalked up many more but for recurrent debilitating calf injuries, but those struggles simply endeared Kompany to the City faithful even more.

Erling Haaland scored yet another hat-trick as Manchester City thrashed Vincent Kompanys Burnley 6-0 to power into the FA Cup semi-finals.

His low ball into the area arced invitingly for Haaland and he lifted it neatly over Peacock-Farrell. That meant his contribution for the week totalled eight goals from just 126 minutes of action. He gave Peacock-Farrell no chance as he rifled home and the score quickly became 4-0 as Kevin De Bruyne burst into the area and squared for Alvarez to tap home.
