Elsewhere, England have also qualified for 2018 World cup after a hard-fought win against Slovenia.

Harry Kane scored in stoppage time to hand the Three Lions a 1-0 win at Wembley, and have now gone 20 games without a loss in the qualifiers.

It’s England’s sixth consecutive time topping their World Cup qualifying group, as they booked their place with a game to spare.

At Hampden Park, a Martin Skrtel’s own goal kept Scotland’s world cup hopes alive.

Scotland moved second in Group F after a 1-0 win over ten-man Slovakia,courtesy of Skrtel’s unfortunate own goal, a minute from time.

The away side played most of the game a man short, following Robert Mak’s 23rd minute sending off.

Scotland hit the post twice, but have Skrtel to thank, as they now go into the last game with their destiny firmly back in their own hands.
