Three minutes and two goals were enough to register their second victory in the UEFA Euro 2024 Qualifiers on Sunday. Harry Kane once again featured on the scoresheet. Along with him was another familiar face who was able to add to his international goal tally.
Bukayo Saka’s dream season continues to live on. Saka served the goal on a plate to Harry Kane who ended up breaking the deadlock in the 37th minute of the game with a simple tap-in. Three minutes later Saka’s strike filled with venom found the back of the net from outside the box.
Even though Harry Kane has been in the limelight after becoming the leading goalscorer of the England national team. But on this occasion, Saka swept in to steal Kane’s limelight and make everybody remember why he is the hottest prospect in Europe right now. After the game, England’s manager Gareth Southgate reflected on the true quality of Saka.
When he’s in front of goal now he plays with real belief, said Southgate.
That’s evident with his club and it’s evident with the games for us. You’re expecting him to score now when he goes through. I think that’s been a mentality shift as much as it’s anything technical. I think he knows to be a really top wide player he needs goals and assists and without doubt, he’s delivered that this season, Southgate said.
