5. Three Lions’ roaring in Munich
The 2001 World Cup qualifier is likely one of England’s best-ever performances, with a hat-trick by Michael Owen and scores from Steven Gerrard and Emile Heskey securing a huge 5-1 win for Sven-Goran Eriksson’s side – despite Germany taking the lead six minutes in.
The win also made the England manager a cult hero after a memorable night in Munich.
4. Dietmar Hamann greeting the old Wembley Stadium
Fittingly, the final event in the old Wembley stadium was a World Cup qualifier against Germany in 2002. The game was then decided by just one goal, a skilful free-kick from Dietmar Hamann that beat England’s number one, David Seaman.
This game also saw the end of Kevin Keegan’s as the manager of England after he resigned immediately resigned after the match.
3. The English comeback
Even though it was only a friendly, it was certainly one of the most entertaining matches, and the Three Lions celebrated as if it were something more. After going down 2-0, England pulled off a dramatic comeback, with Harry Kane scoring one goal and Jamie Vardy scoring another only 15 minutes later.
Eric Dier then powered home a header in injury time and earned England a victory against complacent Germany.
2. Lampard’s ghost goal in South Africa
Frank Lampard’s ghost goal certainly ranks among the most dramatic moments in England’s history, and not just against Germany.
England went on to get hammered 4-1 thanks to goals from Miroslav Klose, Lukas Podolski and a brace from Thomas Muller.
England reach Euro 2020 quarters
Gareth Southgate’s side’s 2-0 win over Germany last year is probably the most recent meeting between the two sides that England fans can recall.
The Three Lions’ first knockout win in 55 years and their first competitive victory over Germany since 2001 came as a result of late goals from Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane against one of the tournament’s toughest opponents.
