Internationals: Xhaka scores for Switzerland

We had another two first-team players in international action on Monday. Scroll down to find out how they got on:

Granit Xhaka scored as Switzerland booked their place at Euro 2020 with a 6-1 win over Gibraltar. Cedric Itten, Ruben Vargas and Christian Fassnacht gave the visitors a healthy lead at Victoria Stadium before Reece Styche pulled one back.

Loris Benito and Itten then struck, before Xhaka played a quick one-two with Itten to coolly slot past Dayle Coleing in the Gibraltar goal. The three points mean Switzerland qualify for next summer's tournament as Group D champions, one point ahead of Denmark, who secured automatic qualification after drawing 1-1 with Republic of Ireland.
