After Erling Haaland‘s five goal display against Luton in the FA Cup, we have looked at which player has scored the most goals in one FA Cup match?
Who Has Scored The Most Goals In One FA Cup Match?
Manchester City swept Luton Town aside in the FA Cup fifth round encounter, winning 6-2 at Kenilworth Road and Erling Haaland found the target five times.
Four of these strikes were assisted by Belgian international, Kevin De Bruyne, as the 32-year-old continues to from a stellar partnership with his Norwegian teammate.
Haaland’s five goals against Luton set a new record in the FA Cup, as he became the first player to score over four goals in a singular match.
A host of players have scored four goals in an FA Cup clash, including Kevin Phillips, Saido Berahino and Craig Mackail-Smith.
Phillips, who scored 13 goals in 34 FA Cup appearances, was on target four times for Sunderland in 1998 during a 5-1 win over Rotherham.
Craig Mackail-Smith achieved the same feat for Peterborough against Staines Town in a 5-0 victory and Saido Berahino scored four times in a 7-0 win victory over Gateshead with West Brom in 2015.
Last season, in Manchester City’s treble winning campaign, Haaland scored three goals in the FA Cup and has already exceeded that total after just 77 minutes in the competition.
This takes the former Borussia Dortmund striker to 33 goal contributions in 30 appearances this season (27G+6A), despite missing two months through injury.
How Many Times Has Erling Haaland Scored Five Goals?
The Norwegian international has been a revelation since joining the Cityzens in the summer of 2022 and has broke a host of records.
Breaking the all-time Premier League goal scoring record in a singular season with 36 goals, Haaland propelled his team to their third consecutive league title.
The prolific striker has also scored against every side he has faced in the Premier League, being the quickest player to reach this milestone.
His five star, five goal, performance makes him the first player to score five goals in one FA Cup match – but has Haaland scored five goals in a match before?
The 22-year-old has scored five goals in a match prior to this display against Luton, hitting a quintet against RB Leipzig in the Champions League in 2022/23.
In the U20 World Cup (2019), the Manchester City star scored nine goals and contributed with one assist for Norway U20 against Honduras U20.
