However, he proved to be far from finished as he blasted home a stunning effort moments into the second half.

Running on to a stunning Trent Alexander-Arnold pass, Saka touched the ball inside the backpedalling Macedonia defender.

From there he chested the ball down before unleashing a volley towards the goal to leave the goalkeeper with no chance of stopping it.

Moments later the 21-year-old was played through on goal again, this time slotting home a far more routine finish to complete the hat-trick.

Some fans loved his particular link up with Liverpool star Alexander-Arnold.

One fan remarked: "That Trent X Saka linkup is going to cook for a LONG time for England 🔥."

A second declared: "This Saka and Trent combo is 🔥."

Saka's Three Lions trio marks him out as the youngest player - and first Arsenal player - to net a hat-trick since Theo Walcott.

The game also left Manchester United fans wondering what might be after skipper Harry Kane linked up with Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw.

Following the game, Saka told Channel 4: "There’s no way to put it into words. I am so happy right now.

"Tonight was a really special display. With me and Rashy running down the wings we are really sharp and direct. They couldn’t live with us.

"Trent told me was going to hit that pass, he hit is so well, he is a top top player. I didn’t even have to break my stride.

"We are really happy with the support, thanks for coming out. It is the perfect end to the season."
