Football reporter at Old TraffordBeing 5-0 down and Foden and Grealish coming on is not what you want to see if you're North Macedonia.

They have been great to see, in and out of possession. They have been controlled and it's great to see.

Blimey, a midfield three of Rice, Bellingham and Alexander-Arnold could dominate international football for a decade. Missing link found?

Never mind just making sure we qualify for the euros, we have to win the euros with this squad.

Football reporter at Old TraffordSaka is special. A hat-trick! He's such a key part of this England team. The way he's made that right hand side his own since the Euros in 2021 is incredible.

Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 LiveBefore I speak about the goal, look at the togetherness of this side, the way they celebrate together. Every single player has joined in with the celebrations . It doesn't matter who you play for. I can just feel something within this side.
The weight of the pass is spot on and the touch and finish is brilliant from Saka.

See people can slate Trent, but he’s the player we’ve been missing that can just pass the ball like that, and break teams up, which has been one of our problems!

Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt just happened to come from Trent Alexander-Arnold again. That no-look pass.
Saka knew what he was going to do. The ball comes down from the air with snow on it. It's an unbelievable touch.
That is world class.
