“What can I say? Really, really good.
“Erling is on fire and Kevin...the connection was perfect.
“It was a really good game and we are in the quarter-finals.
“Kevin needs players like Erling and Erling needs players like Kevin.
“We are not here without the other guys. A lot of credit for everyone.
“We won our last two games 1-0 and against Chelsea we played good in the second half but couldn't win.
“One game at a time. The FA Cup is a really nice competition. We are one game away to go to Wembley again.”

“My fitness is getting there and I’m getting back to my best finally.
“I’m feeling good and it’s an amazing feeling.

Pep Guardiola acknowledges the away faithful.
Through to the next round.
City hit Luton for six to progress into the quarter-finals of the 2023/24 FA Cup courtesy of a comprehensive 6-2 win.
Erling Haaland hit five of them – a hat-trick in the first half and a brace after the break – with the first four set up by Kevin De Bruyne.
Haaland’s quintet equalled the City record for most goals by one player in a single FA Cup game, alongside Frank Roberts (1926 v Palace) and Bobby Marshall (1930 v Swindon).
Denis Law did score six, ironically against Luton in 1961, but they were wiped from the records due to game being abandoned.
Mateo Kovacic hit the sixth of this game, firing home a crunching strike.
Luton’s two were scored by Jordan Clark and an impressive double they were, although they proved to be a sidenote in a game dominated by the brilliant blues.
Join Paul Dickov and Nicky Weaver alongside Natalie Pike on Matchday Live for their take on the game.
City pushing for a seventh.
Brilliant to see this desire and hunger.
Erling Haaland 💙
