Europe

Bosnia and Herzegovina bounced back from their Cyprus defeat last week by putting four past Gibraltar away from home, Asmir Begovic keeping a clean sheet in the 4-0 win.

Norway's faint hopes of World Cup qualification were extinguished by world champions Germany. Joshua King played 90 minutes in Stuttgart but was unable to get on the scoresheet in the 6-0 away defeat.

After starting in Georgia, Harry Arter dropped to the bench for the Republic of Ireland's home qualifier with Serbia, watching on in Dublin as his side lost 1-0 to Serbia.

Africa and Asia

Benik Afobe stayed on the bench as his DR Congo side drew 2-2 with Tunisia in Kinshasa.

Similarly, Brad Smith was an unused substitute for Australia, who beat Thailand 2-1 to make it to the play-offs for the final AFC qualifying spot. The Socceroos are now set to face Syria over two legs in October for a place in Russia next summer.

Under-21s

Lewis Cook started for the Young Lions at Vitality Stadium, playing well in the centre of midfield as England cruised to a 3-0 win over Latvia in front of a good crowd in Dorset.

Lys Mousset came on in the 57th minute for the France under-21 side, who comfortably beat Kazakhstan 4-1 in European Under-21 Championship qualifying.
