FA Cup hat trick
Haaland scored three goals on three shots in Saturday's 4-0 win over Liverpool.
Analysis: Haaland would see a great run of play Saturday as he propelled his team to the FA Cup semifinals. He would start with a goal in the 39th minute before converting a penalty in extra time of the first half, finally adding one more in the 57th minute for a hat trick. This is now his second straight match with a goal. These were his first FA Cup goals of the season in two appearances, hoping to continue the success in league play.
Substituted for rest, not injured
Haaland (undisclosed) is not dealing with an injury and was only subbed off to rest for Sunday's Carabao Cup Final against Arsenal, according to manager Pep Guardiola, per Alex Young of The Standard. "Erling has no injury. He will be available against Arsenal in the Cup final."
Analysis: Haaland was feared to be injured Tuesday in their crashout of the UCL round of 16, appearing to be limping as he left the field. However, it has now been deemed fatigue, with the forward taken off to rest and prepare for the weekend. This is massive news for the club as they try to win a trophy this season, just after losing out on any chance of UCL glory this season. He should then see the start as they attempt to take down a Premier League rival, as the Norwegian remains one of the top goal scorers in the world despite his recent slump.
