Euro 2024 qualifier: Bukayo Saka scores first career hat-trick in England’s 7-0 win

Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka scored his first hat-trick ever as England crushed North Macedonia 7-0 in Euro 2024 qualifying at Old Trafford on Monday.

Captain Harry Kane scored two, while Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford and Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips also found the back of the net as England maintained their perfect start in Group C.

The Three Lions have so far won all of their matches – scoring 15 goals while conceding just once in the process.

Kane fired England ahead on the half-hour mark, and in less than 10 minutes, England doubled their lead through Saka. Marcus Rashford put Gareth Southgate’s side in firm control just before half-time.

Saka scored an absolute thunderbolt from just inside the box after the break and scored his third minutes later when he ran onto Kane’s ball behind the North Macedonian defence and slotted the ball past Dimitrievski.

Manchester City’s Phillips then made it 6-0 before Kane bagged his second of the night to give Southgate’s side a huge 7-0 win.
