Manchester City Beat Liverpool 4-0 in FA Cup Quarters

Manchester City advanced to the FA Cup semifinals with a commanding 4-0 victory over Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, propelled by a hat trick from Erling Haaland and a goal from Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo. The win, City's eighth consecutive appearance in the last four of the competition, sets up a semifinal clash with Southampton and underscores their pursuit of further domestic honors after securing the League Cup earlier in the season.

Semenyo, who joined City from Bournemouth in January, opened his account for the club in the match by scoring the third goal in the 50th minute. He raced onto a precise pass from teammate Rayan Cherki and chipped the ball over Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. Earlier, Semenyo had provided an assist for Haaland's second goal just before halftime with a cross that bamboozled the defense. The 26-year-old has now contributed eight goals since his transfer, highlighting his rapid integration into the squad. "That's why I signed for Man City," Semenyo said afterward. "I want to be competing for all trophies. It's unfortunate we're not in the Champions League, but we've got the Premier League and the FA Cup to fight for."
