Northern Ireland throw away a two-goal lead in Luxembourg but a 2-2 draw is enough to earn promotion to League B in the Nations League.

It was a game played under tricky conditions, with rain teeming down for much of the game. Despite the weather, Northern Ireland fans ramped up the atmosphere as they always do, with the visiting support drowning out the home supporters at the Stade de Luxembourg.

Confidence is understandably sky high within the Northern Ireland camp following back-to-back home wins over Bulgaria and Belarus which saw seven goals. But the older heads in the squad have been urging their young team-mates to make sure they stay humble and do not get carried away with recent successes – there is still a job to be done.
