Schurrle: Ireland win was not "well deserved"

The Germany and Wolfsburg forward conceded that Martin O'Neill's side played with 'passion' and 'heart', but he didn't feel the team merited three points.

Andre Schurrle claimed the Republic of Ireland’s Euro 2016 qualification win over Germany was not “well deserved” after the world champion was shocked in Dublin, but admitted the side did play "with a lot of heart".

Substitute Shane Long hit a 70th-minute winner for Martin O'Neill's men as Joachim Low’s side fell to a 1-0 defeat, failing to get the point it needed to book a place in France next summer.
