Boss King satisfied after first home win

UEFA U21 CHAMPIONSHIP

Aiden O’Brien bagged a brace during a frantic first half in which all seven goals were scored. The Faroes eroded the hosts’ three-goal lead with two strikes but order was restored before the break.

Though the victory, their first of the campaign at home, was essential for Ireland’s prospects of chasing second place and a play-off spot, another three points are a must from Tuesday’s trip to Montenegro.
