Bale scored early doors and with the help of Sam Vokes and Liverpool Academy youngster on loan to Hull City, Harry Wilson, ran up a half dozen, on his 21st birthday.
This takes Ryan Gigg's team into a final to meet either Uruguay or the Czech Republic on Monday.
Bale's record 29 in 69 games, now beats Ian Rush on 28/73, Trevor Ford on 23/38 and Ivor Allchurch 68/23 with Dean Saunders 22/75 not far behind.
Do you think you can name some others coming in the top ten?
All time records include:
Wilson is the youngest debut player at 16 years and 207 days and Liverpool's youngest international debut player. His maternal grandfather bet £50, with William Hill, that his grandson would play international football when the boy was 18 months old..... he won £125,000.
Bale youngest to score a goal at 16 years 315 days.
Oldest player is Billy Meredith at 45 years and 229 days. He played mainly for the two Manchester sides in 1894-1924.
