Thomas Muller has now scored 36 goals in 80 caps for Germany

World champions Germany beat the Czech Republic 3-0 to top Group C in qualifying for the 2018 World Cup.

Bayern Munich forward Thomas Muller scored twice for Joachim Low's side with Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos also on the score sheet.

Muller's club team-mate Robert Lewandowski scored a hat-trick as Poland beat Denmark 3-2 in Group E.

Former Manchester City men Stevan Jovetic and Stefan Savic both netted as Montenegro thrashed Kazakhstan 5-0.

Romania won at Armenia by the same scoreline in the same group, after the hosts were reduced to 10 men through Gor Malakyan's third minute red card.

A surprise scoreline in Group C saw Azerbaijan beat Norway 1-0, with defender Maksim Medvedev the match winner. The result means the Azeris have a 100% record after two games.

Slovenia edged past Slovakia 1-0 to maintain their unbeaten record ahead of their game against England on Tuesday.
