The coach was not happy with going down to the world champions in Sunday's Group D clash, and urged his players to pick themselves up fo the next clash

A frustrated Mikhail Fomenko is already looking ahead to Ukraine's clash with Northern Ireland following a 2-0 defeat to Germany in their Euro 2016 opener in Lille.

Manuel Neuer was forced into some smart saves in the first half at Stade Pierre-Mauroy, but goals from Shkodran Mustafi and substitute Bastian Schweinsteiger sealed the victory.

Fomenko cut a disappointed figure afterwards and says victory over Northern Ireland next Thursday is now vital to his side's chances of progressing to the last 16.
