Still plenty for the boss to be worried about

- BY DARREN LEWIS @MirrorDarr­en

HOW a crazy night unfolded for under-fire England boss Gareth Southgate...

3. Southgate out of his seat for the first time as Germany string one touch passes together.

11. Southgate stops prowling the edge of his area and stands, hands in pockets, impassive as Ilkay Gundogan curls an effort from outside the box over the bar.

23. Southgate has his arms out of his pockets, preparing to celebrate as Sterling wrong-foots his defender Nico Schlotterb­eck, only to have Marc-Andre Der Stegen save.

27. Southgate jumps and turns away in frustratio­n as Raheem Sterling miscontrol­s Harry Kane’s through ball that would have put him through on goal.

38. Southgate applauds an attempted cross on the counter from Luke Shaw.

43. Southgate stands back from the edge of his box to applaud a goal as Kane slips Sterling through from the right, only for Sterling to shoot straight at Ter Stegen

45. Southgate motionless as Joshua Kimmich diagonal effort whistles low past the post.

49. VAR: Southgate sits down as Harry Maguire hacks down Jamal Musiala. Ref misses it at first but is told to check.

52. 0-1, Gundogan scores from the spot and Southgate stands hands on hips.

61. Southgate visibly tensing as Musiala dances past his players and plays in Werner who shoots wide.

67. 0-2, Southgate motionless as Kai Havertz curls in a superb strike.

71. 1-2, Shaw scores. Southgate claps and clenches his fists.

75. 2-2, Mason Mount lashes in the equaliser and Southgate claps wildly.

80. Jude Bellingham goes down on the edge of the penalty area and stays down. Southgate aghast, how is this not a penalty? Bellingham is caught on the ankle by a sliding Nico Schlotterb­eck.

82. Southgate in dreamland... England could have a penalty now. After a few minutes of action, Kane shoots wide, but then the referee goes to check on that challenge on Bellingham.

84. 3-2, penalty awarded and Kane blasts the ball into the top corner and Ter Stegen is never getting to that one. Southgate jubilant, celebratin­g.

86. 3-3, oh dear! Joy short-lived as England are pegged back. Southgate looks down in desolation. Keeper Nick Pope spills a shot to gift Havertz a goal.

90. Ter Stegen saves from Bukayo Saka, no glory night for Southgate.

97. Southgate looks drained. It’s all over. Things to be encouraged about, more to be worried about for him.
