Saka breaks 86-year record to make England history
Bukayo Saka vs Wales for England 101025Bukayo Saka's stunning strike against Wales means he is now our all-time leading England goalscorer, overtaking Cliff Bastin and breaking an 86-year record in the process.
Our winger produced a trademark effort at Wembley, cutting inside before curling into the top corner to make it 3-0 for Thomas Tuchel's side in an international friendly.
The goal was Saka's 13th, 1,562 days after his first for the Three Lions against Austria in June 2021 at Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough.
Saka goes clear of cliff
The number 13 might be unlucky for some, but that's not the case for Bukayo, who is now clear of Cliff Bastin's 12 efforts for England.
