Michael O’Neill hailed a “magnificent” performance from his Northern Ireland players after a 2-0 win over Slovakia at Windsor Park kept them firmly in the hunt in World Cup qualifying Group A.
After Patrik Hrosovsky’s 18th-minute own goal put Northern Ireland ahead, they created several chances for a second before Trai Hume’s first international goal nine minutes from time sealed a win which leaves Northern Ireland level on six points with Germany and Slovakia.
