Northern Ireland player ratings in the Euro qualifier against Germany

BAILEY PEACOCK-FARRELL  6

Young Burnley keeper didn't do much wrong but ended up on end of a six goal defeat.

MICHAEL SMITH  7

What a way to get your first international goal - superb strike from Hearts man in Frankfurt.

CRAIG CATHCART 6

Tried to lead by example in Jonny Evans' absence on his 50th cap, but Germans kept coming.

TOM FLANAGAN 5

Backs to wall display from Sunderland man who was shrugged aside for Gnabry's third of the night.

SHANE FERGUSON  6

Bombed on in first half but found himself hemmed in as Germans went for the jugular.

PADDY McNAIR  6

A mobile threat on counter in first half but influence waned as Germans took control in second.

CORRY EVANS 5

Put in the hard yards on right hand side of five man midfield. Eventually replaced by McLaughlin.

STEVEN DAVIS  5

Started on front foot but it was a long night trying to stem the flow of the German midfield.

JORDAN THOMPSON  6

Will have learned a lot mixing it with likes of Kroos and Kimmich on his first competitive start.

GEORGE SAVILLE  6

Deployed on left flank and provided cross for Smith's stunning opener. Tireless effort.

JOSH MAGENNIS  6

Another selfless shift as lone striker from Hull City man in 50th cap. Replaced by Boyce.
