In this match, Austria dominated their opponents when they led 6-0 in the first half. Arnautovic, a former player of West Ham and Stoke City, got his name on the scoreboard in the 8th minute.
Just 2 minutes into the second half, the 35-year-old striker completed his double, bringing the score to 7-0. After the goal, Arnautovic suddenly ran quickly into the opponent's net to pick up the ball and bring it back to the middle of the field. This is an action usually only seen when the team is behind and wants to quickly equalize.
This move has sparked heated debate on social media. Many believe that the Austrian striker was trying to score more goals to improve his personal record. However, many also praised his fighting spirit, seeing it as a sign of a player with a “champion mentality”.

In fact, Arnautovic's haste to retrieve the ball had a good reason. The striker was on the verge of becoming Austria's all-time leading scorer.
In the rest of the match, Arnautovic scored 2 more goals to complete the poker, thereby officially surpassing the legend Toni Polster to become the player with the most goals for the national team (45 goals).
Notably, in this match, all 10 starting players of Austria (except goalkeeper Patrick Pentz) had at least one goal or assist.
With his explosive form, Arnautovic is aiming to continue to improve his record when Austria face Romania on October 13.
