Manchester City and Luton Town squared off earlier tonight at Kenilworth Road as they attempted to win the FA Cup while travelling. Erling Haaland’s goal in the third minute gave Pep Guardiola’s team a 1-0 lead and gave them a fast start to the match. In the 18th and 40th minutes, respectively, Haaland completed his hat trιck and doubled Man City’s advantage. Jordan Clark’s goal in the 45th minute gave Luton their first goal back, and the Manchester team led 3-1 at the break.

In the 48th minute, Clark scored once more to give the home team the lead. But Haaland struck again in the 55th minute, and three minutes later, he scored his fifth goal of the game. In the 72nd minute, Mateo Kovacic scored Man City’s sixth goal, and Guardiola’s team easily won 6-2 away from home.
