Bukayo Saka netted his second goal, extending England's commanding lead to 4-0 against France by halftime in their FIFA World Cup 2026 third-place match. The Three Lions have delivered an exceptional performance so far.
Declan Rice kicked off the scoring just two minutes into the game with a spectacular long-range strike. He later doubled the advantage by assisting Ezri Konsa's goal from a corner.
Saka himself has been on fire, scoring the third goal following an impressive counter-attack. He then sealed his brace and put further daylight between the teams with a clinical finish, expertly set up by Eberechi Eze's pinpoint through pass.
Commentary from BBC's Match of the Day highlighted the dominance, stating, "France are being taken apart by England!" The broadcast also shared a clip of Saka's fourth goal, emphasizing his brace against the two-time world champions.
England's attacking display has been a masterclass, leaving France defensively vulnerable. While France possesses world-class talent, they will need a significant halftime team talk from Didier Deschamps to mount a comeback and avoid a potentially embarrassing scoreline.
