In a crushing defeat of Italy in the Nations League in Monchengladbach, Germany became the first side to score five goals in a game since 1957.

After 69 minutes, Joshua Kimmich, Ilkay Gundogan’s penalty, Thomas Muller, and a quick-fire Timo Werner double gave Hansi Flick’s team a 5-0 lead.

Alessandro Bastoni headed in a second goal, making Wilfried Gnonto, 18, Italy’s youngest-ever scorer.
