Ruesha Littlejohn has shared a touching image of herself in an emotional embrace with Katie McCabe after Republic of Ireland's 1-0 win over Scotland on Tuesday evening.
Amber Barrett's second-half goal put Ireland into the lead and for the remaining 20 minutes or so, the Irish team put their bodies on the line to repel a ferocious Scottish onslaught. Wave after wave of pressure came Ireland's way before the referee blew the final whistle after 96 minutes of pulsating action.
Players and staff streamed onto the pitch at the game's conclusion to celebrate with their victorious colleagues. Littlejohn, who missed the game through injury, was one of the first on the pitch and headed straight for her partner Katie McCabe.
