Sheffield United’s David McGoldrick scored an 85th minute header against Switzerland meaning Mick McCarthy’s side stay unbeaten in Euro 2020 qualifying.

Newcastle’s Fabian Schar had given the away side the lead before Northern Ireland piled on the pressure late on. Glenn Whelan smashed a shot off the bar before some great work from James McClean kept the ball in Switzerland’s half, where his deflected cross found McGoldrick’s head.

The win means The Republic of Ireland sit top of Group D, undefeated, and three points clear of Denmark who have a game in hand.
