The Republic of Ireland remain unbeaten in Group D qualification for the European Championship after a 1-1 draw against Switzerland at Lansdowne Road last night.
Fabian Schar finished a well worked move to put the visitors in front after 74 minutes, but the 'Boys in Green' equalised through David McGoldrick 5 minutes from time.
The Sheffield United striker scored his first international goal with a brilliant header.

Manager Mick McCarthy says the home support was a 12th man; "I keep saying I think we've had really good will, I certainly have personally shown towards me, the players have despite other stuff that's been going on, I think the way we play and the way they've conducted themselves the draw in Denmark has helped people belief in the team again and I know certainly that result tonight will help".
