Jamal Musiala had a hand in two goals as Germany played out a 3-3 draw with England in their final UEFA Nations League Group A3 fixture.

England 3-3 Germany
Goals: 0-1 Gündogan (pen. 52'), 0-2 Havertz 67' (assist: Werner), 1-2 Shaw 77' (assist: James), 2-2 Mount 75' (assist: Saka), 3-2 Kane (pen. 83') 3-3 Havertz (87')

The Nations League finals out of reach following the 1-0 loss to Hungary, Germany head coach Hansi Flick used the opportunity to start Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck and Bayern Munich teenager Musiala, with his team's 2022 FIFA World Cup opener against Japan less than two months away. A familiar face to both players lined up in the red of England in the form of BVB midfielder Jude Bellingham, who was kept on his toes throughout a competitive first half by Bayern's Joshua Kimmich and ex-Dortmund man Ilkay Gündogan. Germany enjoyed more of the ball for long periods, but were almost undone in the 24th minute. Luke Shaw sent Raheem Sterling in behind, only for Marc-Andre ter Stegen - deputising for Manuel Neuer - to make a superb block. England captain Harry Kane sent a Marco van Basten-esque volley over from the second of the ensuing corners.

Kimmich served notice of Germany's intentions with a shot that sailed narrowly wide at the end of the first half. Within the space of 15 second-half minutes, the four-time world champions were 2-0 up. Gündogan broke the deadlock from the penalty spot, after a VAR review indicated Harry Maguire had obstructed Musiala. Having danced his way through to set up substitute Timo Werner for a shot across goal moments earlier, the Bayern youngester then kick-started the move that produced his country's second - a fabulous 18-yard strike from Kai Havertz. In a furious finale, Luke Shaw bundled in for 2-1 and Mason Mount swept in an equaliser. England thought they'd won it when Kane converted a penalty - awarded by VAR for Schlotterbeck's foul on Bellingham - but Havertz had the final say, tapping home after Nick Pope failed to keep hold of substitute Serge Gnabry's fierce strike from range.
