"Luxembourg were 1-0 down even before Dirk Carlson was sent off in the 21st minute. From there on in they were lambs to the slaughter as Germany pulled them apart in Sinsheim. Joshua Kimmich scored twice, adding to goals from David Raum and the impressive Serge Gnabry as the hosts won at a canter. Germany top the pool on goal difference from Northern Ireland, who beat Slovakia 2-0 in Belfast tonight. All three teams have six points."
"Woltemade woe as goal chalked off Germany thought they had gone ahead inside four minutes but the VAR ruled Nick Woltemade had turned home Gnabry's shot with his arm. Indeed, if there was a negative for Germany it was that Newcastle striker Woltemade's wait for a first senior goal extended to a fifth game before he was hauled off on the hour mark. He will never have a better opportunity against a Luxembourg defence that creaked every time the home side came forward."
Germany secured an emphatic victory over Luxembourg to keep automatic World Cup qualification within reach. Nick Woltemade had an early effort ruled out by VAR for handball after four minutes. David Raum opened the scoring from a 20-yard free-kick after Christopher Martins fouled Serge Gnabry. Dirk Carlson received a red card for handling when Gnabry was impeded, and Joshua Kimmich converted the resulting penalty and later added a second. Serge Gnabry also scored, completing a comfortable home win. Germany top Group A on goal difference, with Northern Ireland and Slovakia level on points; Germany face Northern Ireland next.
