O’Neill praises Northern Ireland substitutes for rescuing Estonia win


Michael O’Neill hailed his super subs after two late goals saw Northern Ireland snatch a 2-1 win over Estonia in Tallinn to keep their Euro 2020 qualifying hopes on track. Konstantin Vassiljev’s 25th-minute free-kick left Northern Ireland in danger of falling to what could have been a damaging defeat, but two goals in the space of four minutes from substitutes Conor Washington and Josh Magennis earned three important points. Asked about his “inspired” changes, O’Neill smiled as he said: “I think the players had something to do with it as well. I think it means so much for him to play for Northern Ireland. Josh Magennis started on the bench in Estonia (Steven Paston/PA)“Jordan was disappointed he didn’t start, but his reaction was fantastic.
