3️⃣ Spain midfielder completes WC qualifier hat-trick in style | OneFootball

Mikel Merino showed his qualities as an attacking threat for Arsenal last season and the midfielder has translated that form on the international stage against Turkey.

Merino struck twice in the first half with two almost carbon copy finishes low into the net to set Spain up for a dominant performance in Konya.

And the third to complete his hat-trick was a beauty, lofting a well-weighted finish from distance over Ugurcan Cakir and into the net.

How many more will the midfielder get in the La Roja shirt?
