Bukayo Saka scores first career hat-trick as Arsenal ace nets stunning England treble

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka scored the first hat-trick of his career as England brushed North Macedonia aside at Old Trafford.

The 21-year-old put away England's second goal towards the end of the first half with a brutal finish into the roof of the net, after Harry Kane had broken the visitors' resistance. Marcus Rashford added a third at his home club stadium before Saka took centre-stage in the second half.

Saka's second, and England's fourth, was the pick of the goals as he cut in from the right, meeting Trent Alexander-Arnold's speculative ball over the top on the bounce and firing a powerful effort into the back of Stole Dimitrievski's net. Moments later he had the match ball, making no mistake after racing clear, with a cool finish. He duly turned away, a beaming smile, holding up three fingers as he celebrated a first senior treble.
