England's Bukayo Saka netted a hat-trick in a 7-0 rout of North Macedonia as they tightened their grip atop Group C in Euro 2024 qualifying round on Monday with a fourth consecutive victory.

Captain Harry Kane, with his 57th and 58th goals for his country, Marcus Rashford and Kalvin Phillips all scored at Old Trafford in a game that the hosts dominated as predicted.

Meanwhile, France maintained their perfect record in Euro 2024 qualifying Group B with a 1-0 home victory thanks to a penalty from Kylian Mbappe against 10-man Greece.

Mbappe netted a second-half penalty to become the best French scorer over a season with 54 goals for club and country, beating the mark set by Just Fontaine in 1957-58.
