Kelly keeps Givens happy

Don Givens may have been unhappy with aspects of his Republic of Ireland Under-21s 2-1 victory over Albania – but he was impressed with Tottenham defender Stephen Kelly’s contribution.

Goals from Graham Barrett and John O’Flynn gave Ireland the home win in an awkward match as tiredness and lethargy saw them hanging on in the closing stages after Bledar Mansaru scored a late goal for Albania.
