Saka scores first career hat-trick in England rout

Bukayo Saka netted his first senior career hat-trick during England's 7-0 thrashing of North Macedonia in a Euro 2024 qualifier at Old Trafford.

Our forward collected the matchball by getting on the scoresheet three times in a 13-minute spell either side of half-time as the Three Lions cruised to their fourth win from four qualifiers to take a big step towards reaching the finals in Germany next summer.

On an evening Bukayo will never forget, his side were already 1-0 ahead before he started his scoring spree on 38 minutes when he received a Kyle Walker pass inside the area and thrashed it past the opposition keeper Stole Dimitrievski at the near post.
