The 23-year-old striker’s first four goals were all set up by Belgian midfielder Kevin Debruyne. Mateo Kovacic also scored for the reigning champions, Mancheste City, which was unbeaten in 18 games across all competitions.
Jordan Clark’s spectacular goal just before halftime and his second goal early in the second half to make it 3-2 gave Luton hope for an unexpected comeback. However, a formidable City team quickly discovered new gear to easily advance to the final eight.
The only setback for Manchester City in the game came from Jack Grealish’s injury, which required him to be substituted during the first half.
The Citizens will be facing neighbours Manchester United this weekend in the Premier League at their home ground and will be looking to carry this great spirit into the game.
