England star Saka scores first career HAT-TRICK including ‘silly’ strike that has fans losing their minds
ENGLAND fans were left in awe after Bukayo Saka landed his first career hat-trick.
The Arsenal winger had already scored in the first half of the clash with North Macedonia.
However, he proved to be far from finished as he blasted home a stunning effort moments into the second half.
Running on to a stunning Trent Alexander-Arnold pass, Saka touched the ball inside the backpedalling Macedonia defender.
From there he chested the ball down before unleashing a volley towards the goal to leave the goalkeeper with no chance of stopping it.
Moments later the 21-year-old was played through on goal again, this time slotting home a far more routine finish to complete the hat-trick.
Saka was then subbed off to a standing ovation on the 59th minute.
Taking to Twitter, one fan said: “That’s one of the best goals ever scored in an England shirt.”
A second typed: “That left foot!!! What a strike.”
A third wrote: “Saka that is silly.”

Some fans loved his particular link up with Liverpool star Alexander-Arnold.
One fan remarked: “That Trent X Saka linkup is going to cook for a LONG time for England .”
A second declared: “This Saka and Trent combo is .”
Saka’s Three Lions trio marks him out as the youngest player – and first Arsenal player – to net a hat-trick since Theo Walcott.
The game also left Manchester United fans wondering what might be after skipper Harry Kane linked up with Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw.
