Manchester City Dominates Liverpool to Secure FA Cup Semi-Final Spot

Manchester City Advances to FA Cup Semi-Finals

Manchester [UK], April 4 (Media House): Manchester City has secured their position in the semi-finals of the FA Cup 2026 with an impressive 4-0 win against Liverpool, highlighted by a stunning hat-trick from striker Erling Haaland.

Haaland's exceptional finishing skills propelled City to their eighth consecutive FA Cup semi-final, further solidifying their dominance in this prestigious tournament. The Norwegian forward was in top form, netting three goals that left Liverpool struggling to keep up.

City's commanding performance showcased their offensive strength and tactical acumen, while Liverpool found it challenging to penetrate City's well-organized defense.

This victory reinforces Manchester City's status as a formidable contender for the FA Cup, with Haaland once again emerging as a pivotal player in the team's triumph.

Pep Guardiola's squad has also set a new FA Cup record, as reported by ESPN. They have now achieved 18 consecutive home victories in the FA Cup, breaking a long-standing record that has been in place for nearly 150 years.

The previous record was held by Clapham Rovers, who won 17 home cup matches between December 1873 and February 1881. This was so long ago that Clapham Rovers no longer exist, having been dissolved in 1914 following the onset of World War I.

With this win over Liverpool, Manchester City has guaranteed their eighth straight appearance in the semi-finals, extending their own record of seven set last season.

Guardiola's team is now just one victory away from becoming the first club to reach four consecutive FA Cup finals. Notably, Manchester City has not lost an FA Cup match away from Wembley since their defeat to Wigan Athletic in 2018.
