'Magical Night That I Will Never Forget': Merino On Scoring First Hat-trick
FIFA World Cup Qualifier: Spain breezed past Turkiye with a 6-0 win in their FIFA World Cup Qualifier, with Mikel Merino scoring a superb hat-trick to help Spain defeat Turkey in their World Cup qualifier in Konya. The 29-year-old labelled the occasion on which he scored his first international hat-trick as a ‘magical night'.
The Arsenal midfielder netted his first of the night on the 22-minute mark before finishing a fine team move just before half-time to double his personal tally. Mikel rounded off his hat-trick in superb fashion, curling home from range to make it 5-0 on the night. Ferran Torres and Pedri scored the other goals in the 6-0 victory for La Roja.
Merino believes Spain did enter the contest as favourites but did not expect the margin to be as large as it was.
