Haaland scores 5 as Man City beat Luton for FA Cup quarters

Erling Haaland scored five times as FA Cup holders Manchester City booked their place in the quarterfinals of the competition with a 6-2 win away to Luton Town, reported Xinhua.

Kevin de Bruyne showed his importance to Pep Guardiola's side with assists for the goals after three, 18 and 40 minutes, before Jordan Clark showed Luton's fighting spirit with goals in the 45th and 52nd minutes.

Haaland made it 4-2 almost immediately after another De Bruyne assist and then scored his fifth of the night in the 58th minute after a pass from Bernardo Silva.

Mateo Kovacic made it 6-2 with 18 minutes left to play and the only setback for City was a first-half injury suffered by Jack Grealish.

Bournemouth and Championship leaders Leicester City exchanged over 30 shots in 90 minutes, with both sides hitting the woodwork, but no goals after 90 minutes took the game into extra time.

Leicester booked their quarterfinal place thanks to Abdul Fatawu's 25-meter thunderbolt in the 105th minute, and although Bournemouth keeper Mark Travers got a hand to it, he couldn't keep it out.

Anthony Gordon gave Newcastle a 71st-minute lead away to Blackburn Rovers, but Sammie Szmodics leveled after Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka had tipped a shot from Dilan Markanday onto the bar.

Extra time failed to produce any more goals and Dubravka was Newcastle's hero with two saves in the penalty shootout as his side went through 4-3.

Wednesday's matches see Chelsea at home to Leeds United, while Liverpool entertain Southampton, Wolverhampton face Brighton, and Nottingham Forest are at home to Manchester United.
