Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann admitted "not everything was perfect" but he was still pleased with his team's desire to win, as they cruised past 10-man Luxembourg in World Cup qualifying on Oct 10.

Elsewhere, Kylian Mbappe helped France see off Azerbaijan as the two European giants claimed easy wins.

Captain Joshua Kimmich's double inspired Germany to a 4-0 home win over Luxembourg and to the top of Group A on goal difference from Slovakia and Northern Ireland, who await them in Belfast on Oct 13.

The Germans showed the poise and swagger that had abandoned them in their World Cup qualifying campaign. They lost in Slovakia for the first time on Sept 5 and edged out Northern Ireland at home three days later.
