Drama for Healy in North’s easy win

DAVID HEALY scored for both sides as Northern Ireland’s first-half blitz proved enough to see off Georgia at Windsor Park last night.

Healy was given a special award by UEFA president Michel Platini before the match in honour of his scoring exploits in Euro 2008 qualifying, but he missed a string of chances.

The home side were dominant throughout and fashioned a classy opening goal in the 25th minute as Healy fed Steven Davis, who squared for Kyle Lafferty to score.
