Jonathan Walters relieved after glaring miss against Uruguay

Jonathan Walters went from the sublime to the ridiculous as the Republic of Ireland secured a morale-boosting 3-1 friendly victory over Uruguay.

The Stoke striker fired home a superb 28th-minute opener, but was then guilty of a glaring miss from just three yards when he guided Robbie Brady's volleyed cross on to the bar with the goal at his mercy.
