Despite being fit enough to play, the Arsenal winger remained an unused substitute as Thomas Tuchel's side surrendered a 1-0 lead in the closing stages to lose 2-1 to holders Argentina.By Saturday evening in Miami, Saka had delivered his response in the only way he knows how.A superb hat-trick inspired England to a thrilling 6-4 victory over France in the third-place play-off, earning the Three Lions their best World Cup finish since lifting the trophy in 1966 and reigniting questions over whether one of England's key players should have featured when it mattered most.A statement in MiamiSaka's reply could hardly have been more emphatic. He struck twice as England stormed into a 4-0 half-time lead against France, first reacting quickest after Marcus Rashford's saved effort before collecting Eberechi Eze's through ball and calmly firing into the bottom corner. With France threatening an unlikely turnaround after the break, Saka completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot to restore England's two-goal cushion.It made him only the fourth England player to score a World Cup hat-trick - after Geoff Hurst, Gary Lineker and Harry Kane - and only the second to do so in the knockout stages after Hurst's famous treble in the 1966 final.To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.This video can not be playedFigure caption, England beat France in 10-goal thriller to win 'bronze final'The semi-final decisionIn England's dramatic World Cup semi-final defeat by Argentina, Tuchel opted to start Morgan Rogers on...
