Erling Haaland hat-trick helps Manchester City to crushing win against LiverpoolBy Andy Hampson, Press AssociationErling Haaland scored a hat-trick as Manchester City thrashed Liverpool 4-0 to power into the FA Cup semi-finals for a record-extending eighth successive season. Antoine Semenyo was also on target as City maintained their bid for a second domestic treble with a commanding display at the Etihad Stadium. The result increased the pressure on Liverpool boss Arne Slot ahead of a daunting Champions League trip to Paris St Germain. City had a penalty appeal rejected after Rayan Cherki went down following a challenge from Milos Kerkez. The City fans lapped it up, breaking out into a Poznan celebration and Cherki attempted some flicks in his own box.
