Northern Ireland 3 Liechtenstein 1: David Healy made sure that Nigel Worthington got off to a winning start as Northern Ireland manager as the Fulham striker continued his remarkable scoring sequence to keep his side on course for the finals of the European Championship for the first time.

Healy grabbed a brace to take his tally to 11 goals in the campaign and 31 overall in 57 international appearances.

With Kyle Lafferty also scoring his first competitive goal, Northern Ireland were able to overtake Spain and move into second place in qualifying Group F behind Sweden.

Liechtenstein were rewarded for their hard work a minute from time when Frick pulled a goal back after some sloppy defensive play.

Northern Ireland are daring to dream, however, and now have a healthy tally of 16 points from seven games.

Next up are back-to-back qualifiers against Latvia and Iceland next month, and both are struggling to get results.
