FC Player of the Day, 19 Nov: Serge Gnabry (Germany)

Martin Macdonald

Serge Gnabry was in excellent form for Germany on Tuesday as Die Mannschaft topped Group C of qualifying for Euro 2020, bagging a brilliant hat-trick against Northern Ireland in a 6-1 win.

While the Irish took a surprise lead, Germany responded emphatically, with Gnabry scoring their equaliser with a sublime turn with one foot and finish into the top right corner with the other foot.

Leon Goretzka got another before half-time, but Gnabry would earn his hat-trick after the break.

His second was a vicious finish into the bottom left corner after latching on to a bouncing ball inside the box, while his third was a display of impressive strength and determination to steal the ball off Tom Flanagan to squeeze a strike home from close range.

He also attempted 44 passes during his time on the pitch, and misplaced just two.
