BARCELONA - England had to come from behind to beat Slovakia 2-1 at Wembley on Monday, while Germany thrashed Norway 6-0 in a one-sided World Cup 2018 qualifier, with both teams closing in on a place in Russia. Gareth Southgate's side equalized in the 38th minute, Rashford keeping his head high and making amends by firing in a corner which Eric Dier slammed into the top corner from close range. "A fantastic show of character after making a mistake to score and then score the winner which got us closer to the World Cup where hopefully he will shine." Germany destroyed Norway to maintain their 100 per cent record in qualification, hugely improved from their scraped 2-1 win over Czech Republic on Friday. "It was a lot of fun to play here in Stuttgart, the mood was great," said coach Joachim Loew.
