Bukayo Saka's brilliant hat-trick inspired England to victory despite a remarkable two-goal performance from France's Kylian Mbappe. 

The French forward moved ahead in the Golden Boot race and also set a new World Cup scoring milestone with his latest goals. 

England raced into an early lead through Declan Rice and held a commanding advantage by halftime before France mounted a spirited comeback. 

Despite Mbappe's heroics, England maintained control to secure third place in a match that will be remembered for its relentless attacking football and dramatic scoreline.
