Estonia 1 Northern Ireland 2Northern Ireland’s Euro 2020 qualifying hopes survived a scare as substitute Josh Magennis scored twice in four minutes to snatch a 2-1 win in Estonia. Both goals came via the slightest of touches — the first on Conor Washington’s shot and the second enough to divert Jordan Jones’ cross into the net — but both could have a major impact for Northern Ireland. Estonia’s Konstantin Vassilijev celebrates scoring a goal during the Euro 2020 qualifying game against Northern Ireland at A Le Coq Arena in Tallinn. And three minutes later Northern Ireland were ahead as Magennis got a deft touch to Jones’ cross for the ball to trickle over the line. There was another late scare as Dimitrijev headed just wide while Jones was close to adding a third at the other end, but Northern Ireland had already done enough.
