That's 49 international goals in 130 appearances for the current Galatasaray striker - third-most in Germany history behind Gerd Muller (68) and Miroslav Klose (71).
The goal was enough for a 1-0 victory for Die Mannschaft as both sides prepare for World Cup qualifiers on Sunday. Germany visits Azerbaijan while England welcomes Lithuania to Wembley Stadium.
