Germany coach Joachim Low hailed Leroy Sane's strike in a 3-0 friendly win over Russia as "beautiful" after the Manchester City winger scored his first international goal.
Sane's opener and his all-action performance made a mockery of Low's decision to exclude him from Germany's World Cup squad earlier in the year, while Niklas Sule and Serge Gnabry also scored on a much-needed night of positivity for Die Mannschaft.
Low said he was happy to see his players create goals from deep positions after Sane and Gnabry benefited from some impressive long passes from midfield before scoring.
