Man City hat-trick hero Haaland: It's been a good couple of games

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland was happy with his hat-trick after their FA Cup quarterfinal victory over Burnley.

City defeated the Championship leaders 6-0 on the night.

Haaland said, "It's been a good couple of games – important games. 7-0 and 6-0 before the national team break is impressive. I'm really happy.

"Every goal for the team means a lot. It's an amazing win against a really good Burnley side. I'm really happy and our next game is at Wembley.

"I think we're in the part of the season where we should be at our best. Of course we should be at our best all the time, but we have to perform every single game. The last couple of games have been finals – that's exactly what we've been doing."

On whether he has set a target for the season, he added: "No, I have not. I'm a striker, I love to score goals, but my focus is not on scoring goals but on getting the chances. If I get the chances, there's a good chance I'll score."
