According to the schedule, Man City meets a series of giants such as MU, Liverpool in the Premier League or Copenhagen in the Champions League arena. Therefore, coach Pep Guardiola set the goal of winning quickly during the trip to Luton Town’s field.

The proof is that the Spanish coach launched a strong squad, with De Bruyne and Haaland working side by side. Against an opponent the size of Luton, this duo shined again to help Man City quickly dominate and score a goal.

In the 3rd minute, De Bruyne went down to the bottom of the box to receive the ball and then stretched as if to set Haaland up for a one-touch finish to open the score. With the advantage of an early goal and superior position, Man City gave Luton almost no chance to advance the ball or finish. In the 18th minute, Haaland doubled the gap for Man City after kicking the ball past the opponent’s goalkeeper.

By the 40th minute, Haaland had a hat-trick. And although Luton Town suddenly had 2 goals to shorten the score, that became even more motivation for the Haaland – De Bruyne duo to play more impressively. In the 55th minute, Haaland scored the fourth goal and De Bruyne had the fourth assist for the Norwegian striker.

3 minutes later, Haaland scored his 5th goal in this match, creating a 5-2 gap for Man City before being withdrawn by Pep Guardiola. By the 72nd minute, Kovacic completed the “tennis set” for Man City. Thanks to that, coach Pep Guardiola’s team was present in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.
