GERMANY needed a late winner from Thomas Muller to beat Romania 2-1 while the Netherlands eked out a 1-0 win in Latvia to stay on course for the World Cup finals on Friday. Four-time world champions Germany now have a six-point lead in Group J after their win in Hamburg. However, it was another rollercoaster evening for the European giants.
Germany overcome Romania, stay on course for WC finals

Romania took a shock ninth-minute lead when Rangers winger Ianis Hagi ghosted through the defence and fired past Germany goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, a late replacement for injured Manuel Neuer. Serge Gnabry equalised with his 20th goal in 30 internationals after 52 minutes.

Muller then came off the bench for his 107th Germany appearance to claim his 40th international goal nine minutes from time.
