Bukayo Saka scored a hat-trick as England defeated France 6-4 in a thrilling match at the Miami Stadium on Saturday to claim the bronze medal at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This is England's first World Cup medal since their 1966 victory.
The match, often considered a dead rubber, was anything but, with both teams attacking relentlessly. Saka's three goals were complemented by strikes from other English players, while France responded with four goals of their own in a high-scoring affair.
England's win marks a historic achievement for the team, ending a 60-year drought without a World Cup medal. The match was played in front of a packed stadium in Miami, with fans treated to an entertaining display of attacking football.
