England pulled off an upset against the world number one Germans.
It was the first time England had defeated Germany at the Champions Trophy and they controlled the match from the opening whistle, scoring their first goal through Adam Dixon on six minutes.
England continued to press Germany and scored again through Harry Martin in the 10th minute.
Things improved slightly when Germany pulled one back four minutes later through an own goal, but England regained their two-goal buffer with an own goal two minutes before half time.
The Germans lost their discipline throughout the second half, with their inexperienced line up producing many sloppy tackles.
England rounded it off with a fourth goal to Darren Cheesman and captain Barry Middleton revelled in finally beating Germany.
“You have never seen a bad German team. Whatever tournament they go to however experimental it is they are a good team,” he said.
