Germany to strong for Austria

PARIS: Veteran Klose set Germany on the way to a 3-0 win against neighbours Austria which keeps them firmly in control of Group C.
Germany were far too strong for Austria in Munich with the 35-year-old Klose setting them on their way with the 68th international goal of his career.

That saw him equal Gerd Mueller's German record for the most goals scored for his country, before Bayern Munich pair Toni Kroos and Thomas Mueller got the other goals for the hosts on the night.

Germany are now five points clear of Sweden, who won 2-1 in the Republic of Ireland with Johan Elmander and Anders Svensson getting their goals after Robbie Keane had put the home side in front.
