NI Beat Israel In International Friendly

Northern Ireland have defeated Israel 3-0 in an international friendly at Windsor Park on Tuesday night, 11 September.

Making his international debut, Gavin Whyte came off the bench and scored the third goal of the game.

The goal topped off a successful night for Michael O'Neill's side after first half goals from Steven Davis and Stuart Dallas.

The result sees Northern Ireland return to winning ways after Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Bosnia-Herzegovina in the UEFA Nations League.

NI will meet Austria next in the UEFA Nations League on 12 October, followed by a return fixture against Bosnia-Herzegovina on 15 October.
