The chemistry between the home ground and the Euro selection for England has been fantastic. Yesterday, in the Euro selection match against North Macedonia at Old Trafford, England celebrated a goal-fest, winning 7-0. Bukayo Saka scored a hat-trick, and Harry Kane contributed with a brace of goals, leading England to a victory.

In the Euro selection matches played at home, Gareth Southgate's team has been scoring goals consistently for a long time. From the Euro selection in 2016 until now, in their last 12 matches, England has scored a total of 47 goals. During this time, they have only conceded 4 goals. England has also won all 12 matches.

Just three days ago, in the Euro selection match, England defeated Malta 4-0. It was expected that England would dominate North Macedonia on home turf, but the 7-0 victory exceeded many people's expectations. However, this resounding victory is not new for England in the Euro selection. Previously, on November 15, 2021, in the World Cup selection match against San Marino, they won 10-0.

The player who achieved the biggest feat with the 7-0 victory was Saka, who played a phenomenal game. It was his first international hat-trick for Arsenal. After the exhausting game, Saka now wants some rest. He has played the entire season for Arsenal and has also become a part of the national team.

Perhaps that's why fatigue has set in. 'It has been a very long season. There was no opportunity to end it better. Now it's time to relax. I really enjoyed yesterday's match,' said Saka. The other two goal scorers for England were Marcus Rashford and Kalvin Phillips.

England's next match in the Euro selection will be against Ukraine on September 9. The following day, they will face the current European champions, Italy. North Macedonia, who missed out on the World Cup ticket after losing to Italy in the playoffs, will play their next match against Italy. This defeat means they have failed to qualify for the World Cup for the second time.

In the Euro selection, England is currently at the top of Group C. They have won all four matches in the group. Ukraine has risen to second place in the points table after defeating Malta 1-0 in another match of the day. With 6 points in three matches, they are in third place. Italy is at the same point with three matches played. Malta is at the bottom of the table, having lost all four matches.
