England on fire as North Macedonia are given a seven-goal thrashing

<p>Bukayo Saka scored a jaw-dropping first career hat-trick as rampant England roared to a 7-0 victory against North Macedonia in Monday's memorable Euro 2024 qualifier.</p>

<p>Gareth Southgate's side are all but assured of making it to Germany having reached the halfway point of qualification with four wins from their four Group C games.</p>

<p>Harry Kane struck twice in an Old Trafford annihilation that also saw Marcus Rashford and Kalvin Phillips get in on the act, but ever-improving talent Saka was the star of the show with his tremendous treble.</p>

<p>The 21-year-old is at the heart of a catchy new chant about England going to Berlin and showed just why he is considered one of the world's best young talents.</p>

<p>Saka slammed home from a tight angle after Kane's opener - the sixth straight game he has scored in - and before Rashford's goal at his home ground.</p>

<p>The young forward left the 70,708 in attendance stunned immediately after the break when scoring a sensational left-footed strike from a similarly impressive pass by Trent Alexander-Arnold.</p>

<p>Saka soon completed the first hat-trick of his senior career with a cool finish that was complemented by substitute Phillips' tap-in and a Kane spot-kick.</p>
