Everyone makes same Michael Obafemi observation after Ireland beat Armenia

Michael Obafemi was named the player of the match as the Republic of Ireland beat Armenia 3-2 in a bizzare game at the Aviva Stadium.

Stephen Kenny's side seemed to be cruising to victory after Obafemi doubled their lead in the 52nd minute to add to John Egan's headed goal in the 18th minute, but the Boys in Green imploded some 20 minutes later when the visitors got two goals in two minutes.

Armenia then had an implosion of their own when two of their players were sent off after Ireland were awarded a penalty for a handball in the dying minutes.
