Trapattoni praises Dunne

Giovanni Trapattoni saluted his “wardrobe” after seeing the Republic of Ireland survive a concerted fightback to claim three more World Cup points with a 1-0 victory over Cyprus.

Trapattoni was indebted to the heroics of central defender Richard Dunne and keeper Shay Given, who led the battle to keep Cyprus at bay when they belatedly launched their assault.
