LONDON (Reuters) - England will head to the World Cup on the back of a six-match winless sequence but with at least some pride and confidence restored after a thrilling 3-3 draw at home to Germany in the Nations League on Monday.

Southgate's listless side trailed 2-0 to Ilkay Gundogan's penalty and a superb effort by Kai Havertz with less than 20 minutes remaining and boos beginning to resound at Wembley in their final Group A3 match.

But Germany, themselves in a poor run of form heading to Qatar, were not finished and Havertz capitalised on a goalkeeping error by Nick Pope to grab an 87th minute leveller. It is more than 100 years since England last went six competitive games without a victory, but they at least changed the narrative with a stirring comeback against Germany.

But the mood has turned sour mainly because of a woeful lack of goals -- Kane's last-minute penalty in Germany being their only goal in their previous five Nations League games.A lacklustre first 45 minutes underlined England's problems although Raheem Sterling did have two chances - first when he was played in by Shaw to force a fine save from Marc-Andre ter Stegen and then shooting tamely shortly before halftime.

Having given the ball away to Jamal Musiala, Maguire tried to win it back but hacked down Musiala and a penalty was eventually awarded after a VAR intervention.
