Gibraltar 0-7 Germany: Schurrle hat trick aids easy win for world champion

Andre Schurrle's hat trick helped Germany to a routine 7-0 victory over Gibraltar to keep up the pressure on Poland in Euro 2016 qualifying.

Germany eased to a comfortable 7-0 success over Gibraltar in their Euro 2016 Group D qualifier, Andre Schurrle netting a hat trick for the world champion.

Having seen group leader Poland dispatch Georgia 4-0 earlier on Saturday - thanks to a Robert Lewandowski treble - Joachim Low's side knew an expected victory at Estadio Algarve would see the team climb back to within a point of its neighbour in the standings.

The opening 25 minutes did not go entirely to plan, Bastian Schweinsteiger seeing a penalty saved by Jordan Perez, while Gibraltar created openings of its own.
