Euro 2024 qualifiers: England score seven, France edge past Greece

England showcased their dominance with a resounding 7-0 victory over North Macedonia, thanks to a hat-trick from Bukayo Saka in the Euro 2024 qualifiers.

With four wins out of four in Group C, Gareth Southgate's team appears virtually assured of securing their place in Germany.

Meanwhile, Ukraine managed to strengthen their grip on the second spot in Group C, but faced a tough challenge against Malta.

They struggled to break down the bottom-placed team and had to rely on a fortunate 72nd-minute penalty converted by Viktor Tsygankov to secure a narrow 1-0 win.

Over in Paris, France ground out a 1-0 win over Greece in their Group B encounter thanks to star striker Kylian Mbappe's 55th-minute penalty.

Wales endured a challenging match, going down to a 2-0 defeat against the Group D leaders Turkey, with goals from Umut Nayir and Arda Guler. Additionally, Joe Morrell received a red card, adding to their misfortune.

Finland, leading Group H, continued their dominant form with a comfortable 6-0 win over San Marino, courtesy of Daniel Hakans' hat-trick.

In Group I, Switzerland relinquished their perfect record after conceding two late goals against Romania.

Despite Mohamed Amdouni's first-half brace, Valentin Mihaila scored twice in the final minutes to salvage a point for Romania.
