Gundogan Double Rescues Germany In Estonia

By Daily Sports on October 14, 2019

Ilkay Gundogan scored second-half goals to help 10-man Germany claim a 3-0 win away to lowly Estonia in Sunday's Euro 2020 qualifier despite the early dismissal of Emre Can.

Germany won 8-0 when the sides met in Mainz last June, but the visitors got into trouble when Can was sent off after just 14 minutes in Tallinn for a foul as the last man.

After a goalless first half, two goals by Manchester City midfielder Gundogan and one from replacement striker Timo Werner kept Germany on course to qualify for next year’s finals.

They stay second in the table but moved level on 15 points with Group C leaders the Netherlands, who beat Belarus 2-1 in Minsk earlier in the day.

Wins next month for Joachim Loew's side against Belarus in Moenchengladbach and Northern Ireland in Frankfurt will ensure Germany a place at Euro 2020.

Both Can and Gundogan, who both have Turkish roots, caused a stir before kick-off after they both deleted Instagram ‘likes’ of a photograph showing Turkey footballers performing a military salute, a gesture seen as supporting their country’s military offensive in Syria.

Both Uefa and the German Football Association have said they will look into the incident.

Germany were dealt a blow before kick-off when in-form winger Serge Gnabry, who scored in Wednesday’s 2-2 friendly draw with Argentina in Dortmund, was pulled from the starting line-up with a leg injury. (SuperSport)
