Serge Gnabry’s hat-trick condemned Northern Ireland to a heavy defeat in their final fixture of Euro 2020 qualifying as outgoing manager Michael O’Neill suffered the second heaviest defeat of his eight-year reign.
 Michael Smith’s first international goal gave Northern Ireland a shock lead after seven minutes in Frankfurt but it proved a false dawn.Gnabry failed to make the grade at Arsenal and even West Brom but is flourishing with Bayern Munich and he moved on to 13 goals in as many international appearances.
