Bukayo Saka’s Incredible Goal Shines As England Secures Dominant Victory Against Ukraine

The difference came late in the first half when Harry Kane scored his 55th goal for his country, before Bukayo Saka curled in a beautiful effort from the edge of the penalty area, giving England the upper hand.

Saka had a fantastic game, continuing his excellent form this season, while James Maddison showed flashes in his first start for England.

It was an efficient but pretty low-key performance from the team, which was enough to secure their second win in the qualifying campaign.

Kane, as usual, was the chief threat and was the one who broke the deadlock on 37 minutes with an expertly started and finished move.

With two minutes left in the first half, Saka doubled England’s lead with a wonderful curling effort into the far top corner from the edge of the box.

Ukraine was unable to make an impact in the second half, and England was in no real hurry to push for more goals.

England’s comfortable win will go down well with Gareth Southgate, who has won two games out of two in the qualifying campaign.

Although it was a competitive game early on, it eventually felt like a friendly, with England dominating and not under any threat.

It was an impressive win for England, and their perfect start to qualifying continued.
