England winger Bukayo Saka has said he will remember his first career hat-trick for the Three Lions forever.
Saka was passed fit to start the game despite coming off after just 45 minutes of Friday’s 4-0 win over Malta due to an injury scare.
The Arsenal was the star of the show as he netted thrice in the 7-0 thrashing of Macedonia.
“I will remember this for the rest of my life. It’s a special night, big win and my first hat-trick, it’s really special,” Saka told BBC Radio 5 Live.
“I will probably frame the match ball but probably hold it in my arms for a few days first.”
“I don’t remember the last time I scored three even at junior levels. It is a decent scoring record (11 goals in 28 England games) but there is always room for improvement. After this game, it is time for holidays now.”
