MANCHESTER, England : After Bukayo Saka struck his first senior career hat-trick in England's 7-0 rout of North Macedonia in Euro 2024 qualifying on Monday his national team manager Gareth Southgate was asked if the 21-year-old is nearing soccer's top echelon.Despite a nagging Achilles injury, Saka shone in England's fourth straight Group C win that has top with 12 points.
"So, that says a lot about his mentality, his ability to deal with pressure. And that's the environment that we're in all the time. He's exceptional to work with." The 21-year-old Saka was joined up front by captain Harry Kane, who scored record-extending 57th and 58th goals for his country, and Marcus Rashford in a forward line fans on social media were calling the best England have had in a while."I think for different games, different profiles of players are important, and of course you can never be sure that we're going to have everybody available," he said.
"That wasn't really how we were expecting the game to be because there's no evidence that Macedonia would suffer like that," Southgate said.
