Saka Hat Trick Powers England Past France 6-4 in Third-Place Thriller

Bukayo Saka scored a hat trick as England beat France 6-4 in the World Cup third-place playoff. France mounted a dramatic second-half comeback but could not complete it, leaving England to claim third place in a ten-goal classic. A 6-4 scoreline in a World Cup match is extraordinarily rare — ten goals between two of Europe's biggest nations makes this one of the most remarkable results in tournament history.
