Saka started the game brightly and seen a lot of the ball early on before scoring a wonderful goal on the 43rd minute to double England’s lead. His volley took a minor deflection as it flew into the roof of the net.
He doubled his tally for the day just after the hour mark as he came in from the right hand side, shifted onto his left foot and struck the ball underneath the goalkeeper.

After everything that unfolded after the Euro 2020 final, it was the perfect way for Saka to step up on the grandest stage of them all and deliver in style.
On a hat-trick, Saka was subbed off with around 20 minutes to go in normal time.
