Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored after coming off the bench as England drew an entertaining World Cup qualifier 2-2 in Scotland. The Ox had only been on the pitch for five minutes before giving Gareth Southgate's side the lead in the second half, cutting in from the right and beating Craig Gordon at his near post. Two Leigh Griffiths free-kicks looked to have given the hosts a late win, but Harry Kane equalised in stoppage time.
Shkodran Mustafi was on target for Germany in their 7-0 World Cup qualifier win over San Marino. Our centre half scored his second international goal just after half-time, a deflected shot just about finding the bottom corner. Further goals from Julian Draxler, Amin Younes and Julian Brandt, plus a hat-trick from Sandro Wagner, secured a comprehensive victory.

Granit Xhaka gave Switzerland the lead in their 2-0 World Cup qualifier win over the Faroe Islands.

Xherdan Shaqiri ensured the Swiss maintained their 100 per cent record in Group B by adding a second on the hour.
Olivier Giroud's exquisite volley gave France the lead in their World Cup qualifier away at Sweden, but Les Bleus were ultimately beaten 2-1 after Ola Toivonen scored a 93rd-minute winner.
