Defending world champions Germany have recorded a thrashing 6-nil victory over Norway to stay top of Group C and extend their 100 percent win record to eight matches in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. 

Mesut Ozil opened the scoring in the 10th minute, before turning provider for Julian Draxler seven minutes later. Timo Werner found the back of the net twice before the half-time, after which Leon Goretzka and Mario Gomez both put their names on the score sheet.

Die Mannschaft only need one point from their remaining two fixtures against Northern Ireland in Belfast and three days later at home against Azerbaijan to book their ticket to Russia.

The group winners qualify directly for the finals while the eight best second-placed teams in the nine groups go into a playoff round.
