'Better than Rashford' - Arsenal fans make Saka point after England hat-trick

Bukayo Saka scored a hat-trick for England against North Macedonia at Old Trafford on Monday evening and Arsenal fans were quick to praise the 21-year-old for his performance

Bukayo Saka scored his first senior hat-trick on Monday evening as England thrashed North Macedonia at Old Trafford.

Starting for Gareth Southgate's side on the right wing, the Arsenal star made it a night to remember as he helped the Three Lions race into a 2-0 lead at half-time. Following an earlier Harry Kane goal, the Hale End graduate doubled the lead with a lethal finish from inside the box after collecting Kyle Walker’s low cross and firing in from an acute angle.

Saka scored his second soon after the restart, collecting a sumptuous Trent Alexander-Arnold pass before lashing home from the edge of the box. Saka completed his first senior hat-trick just moments later, this time coolly slotting home after being picked out by Kane’s perfect pass.

It was a night to remember for the 21-year-old and a number of Arsenal fans took to social media to highlight his incredible performance after he netted his third.

@Aaronj03sephW said: "Honestly Saka.... This kid might end up being the best player to ever come out of Hale end."
