Defending
champions Germany and England have secured their place at next year’s World Cup
in Russia.
Germany secured qualification with a 3-1 victory away to
Northern Ireland in Belfast on Thursday.
Sebastian Rudy and Sandro Wagner scored first-half goals and Joshua
Kimmich netted a late third as Germany made it nine wins out of nine in
European qualifying Group C ahead of Sunday’s final match at home to
Azerbaijan.
England on their part qualified for the World Cup after
captain Harry Kane scored an injury-time winner to beat Slovenia 1-0 at
Wembley. As a result of Scotland’s 1-0 win over Slovakia, England only needed a
draw to qualify from Group F, but Kane diverted home Kyle Walker’s cross to
grab Gareth Southgate’s hosts a seventh win of the qualifying campaign.
