Semenyo then turned provider on the stroke of half-time, delivering a pinpoint cross from the right flank that Haaland met with a towering header to double the lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This assist underscored the growing chemistry between the club\u2019s record-signing and their prolific Norwegian striker, leaving Liverpool reeling as they headed into the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Semenyo effectively ended the contest as a spectacle just five minutes into the second half. Latching onto a delicate through ball from Bernardo Silva, the forward demonstrated his elite composure by chipping the ball over Liverpool goalkeeper <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Giorgi Mamardashvili<\/strong><\/span> and into the far corner to make it 3\u20130.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal was his 17th of the season across all competitions and capped a 50-minute spell where he was the game\u2019s most influential figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Haaland eventually completed his hat-trick in the 57th minute to finalize the rout, but it was Semenyo\u2019s creative spark and clinical edge that dismantled the Liverpool defense, securing Manchester City\u2019s place at Wembley for an unprecedented eighth consecutive season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Semenyo currently has bagged 17 goals in all comepetitions this campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester City cruised into the FA Cup semi-finals with a commanding 4\u20130 victory over Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium on&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":246581,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[87,88,86],"class_list":["post-246580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-stories","tag-erling-haaland","tag-giorgi-mamardashvili","tag-manchester-city"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246580"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246580\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/246581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
