Kai Havertz and Ilkay Gundogan scored as Germany got their 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign off to a good start with a comfortable win over Iceland.
The home side led 2-0 after just seven minutes, with Chelsea forward Havertz firing in the second after Leon Goretzka's well-taken opener.
Gundogan continued his fine goalscoring form this season by adding a third.
The Manchester City midfielder has now netted 15 times in his last 24 appearances for club and country.
The closest Iceland came to scoring was a Runar Sigurjonsson shot that deflected just past the far post in the first half.
The home side were vastly superior, though, and should have scored more, with Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger heading a superb chance wide.
Germany also gave a late run-out to Havertz’s Chelsea team-mate Timo Werner and Bayern Munich's 18-year-old forward Jamal Musiala, who last month opted to represent the country of his birth as opposed to England. (BBC)
