Saka Surpasses Beckham as Arsenal's Top England Scorer

Bukayo Saka scored two goals in the England National Team's commanding 7-0 win against Croatia. This performance raised his total goals for England to 16, surpassing David Beckham's all-time tally of 17 goals.
Saka achieved this milestone while playing 56 fewer international matches than Beckham. He also became the first player born in the 2000s to score for England.
His first goal came when England was already leading 3-0, and he finished coolly after being unmarked in the box. Saka's second goal followed a quick one-two with Harry Kane, allowing him to strike from close range.
He recorded the highest expected goals (xG) in the match at 2.29, had the most touches in the opposition's box, and was joint-top for shots with five. Saka expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance, highlighting their high energy and spirit.
He has played 90, 71, and 83 minutes in England's three games during the international break.
