Erling Haaland scored his sixth hat-trick of the season as Man City turned on the style to thrash Vincent Kompany's Burnley 6-0 in the FA Cup quarter-final.

Kompany was given a warm reception by the Etihad Stadium but the pleasantries on the field were in short supply as ruthless Haaland scored twice in the first half to put City on the way to a fifth consecutive FA Cup semi-final.

Pep Guardiola's purring side stepped on the gas further after the break, running Sky Bet Championship leaders Burnley ragged as Haaland grabbed his second hat-trick of the week on 59 minutes following up his five goals in 65 minutes against RB Leipzig in midweek. It's now 42 goals for the season for the Norwegian goal machine.

Haaland was fed on the edge of the area by Alvarez and, although Bailey Peacock-Farrell rushed out, he instinctively poked the ball beyond the 'keeper.

The next came three minutes later when this time Foden was the provider after a charge down the left. His low ball into the area arced invitingly for Haaland and he lifted it neatly over Peacock-Farrell.

Burnley tried to respond and Ian Maatsen forced a good save from Ortega just before the interval but City and Haaland were in no mood to relent.

Haaland completed his treble just before the hour when, as usual, he was in the right place at the right time to pounce on a rebound after Foden hit the post.

He gave Peacock-Farrell no chance as he rifled home and the score quickly became 4-0 as Kevin De Bruyne burst into the area and squared for Alvarez to tap home.

As he was in midweek, Haaland was taken off in the 63rd minute. That meant his contribution for the week totalled eight goals from just 126 minutes of action.

There was still no respite for Burnley as Foden's cross was pushed into the path of Palmer and the substitute turned in.

The sixth came soon after as Alvarez raced onto a De Bruyne through ball and turned inside Ameen Al-Dakhil to thump home.

Wembley awaits - and on this form, they are going to take some stopping.

Haaland: Every goal means a lot to me

Haaland speaking.  

"It's been a good few games, important games - 7-0 and 6-0 before the international break is impressive. I'm really happy.

"Every goal means a lot to me, every goal for the team means a lot. To win 6-0 today is an amazing thing against a really good Burnley side.

"We're in that part of the season where we need to be at our best. This is where things get decided. We have to preform in every single game.

"The last couple of games have been finals, which is exactly what we've been doing.

"I'm a striker, I love scoring goals. But my focus isn't scoring goals, it's about getting chances and with those, there's a good chance I'll be scoring goals."
