Pascal Gross is heading to Euro 2024 on a high after a brilliant late goal for Germany.
The Albion midfielder fired home a bouncing ball from just outside the penalty area to secure a 2-1 friendly win over Greece in Monchengladbach.
He had come off the bench as Germany started with their recognised midfield duo of Toni Kroos and Robert Andrich.
Gross replaced Andrich midway through the second half and had the final word with a technically superb finish as he cut across the ball with his right foot, sending it arcing away from the goalkeeper and just inside the post, while also ensuring he kept his effort down.

It was his first international goal and came in his seventh appearance.
Germany open the tournament on Friday when they face a Scotland side who drew 2-2 with Finland last night.
The Scots, with Billy Gilmour starting, raced into a two-goal lead.
Gilmour made way on 69 minutes with his side 2-1 up.
