England demolished North Macedonia 7-0 at Old Trafford on Monday evening to make it four wins from four in Euro 2024 qualifying.
Bukayo Saka scored a hat-trick before the Arsenal man was removed to a standing ovation from the crowd in Manchester.
Harry Kane nabbed a brace, including one from the penalty spot, while Marcus Rashford and Kalvin Phillips were also on target for Gareth Southgate's side.
The result was rather one-sided, but it was a rare opportunity to see England in a competitive fixture in the north of England, and fans lapped it up.
Here, Mail Sport's Sami Mokbel talks you through some of the more unusual talking points from England 7-0 North Macedonia:
Time for a rest, Gareth? No, he's off to Georgia!
The season’s over…finally!
Well, not for Gareth Southgate and his assistant Steve Holland.
Having led England to another two victories en route to qualification for Germany 2024, the coaching duo aren’t putting their feet up just yet.
The pair are off to Georgia and Romania to watch England’s Under-21’s in the European Championships in the coming days.
England face the Czech Republic on Thursday and the pair are scheduled to be in attendance.
Southgate was invited to be a guest at the Football Association’s special 75th anniversary Windrush celebration at Wembley on Thursday but is unable to attend due to his commitment to the Under-21s.
Levi Colwill, Jacob Ramsey, Morgan Gibbs-White, Harvey Elliott and Taylor Harwood-Bellis are among the players on Southgate’s immediate radar.
Harry Kane took the adulation as he smashed home his 57th international goal to give England the lead - a goal that was made in Manchester.
Marcus Rashford combined with United team-mate Luke Shaw, who put the ball on a plate for the England’s record goalscorer.
Rashford, in particular, was getting significant joy down North Macedonia’s right side as the opposition struggled to cope with his speed and poise.
Bukayo Saka became the fourth Arsenal player to score a hat-trick for England’s senior mens team on Monday night.
He follows in the footsteps of Ted Drake, Ian Wright and Theo Walcott.
His heroics were awarded with a warm embrace and beaming smile from his international manager as he was substituted just before the hour mark to a standing ovation.
At 21, Saka is now unquestionably one of Southgate’s ‘undroppables’. What a player England have on their hands.
