How the Irish fared: O’Neill handed boost by Preston double-act

With the Nations League double-header against Denmark and Wales looming, Callum Robinson fired a reminder of his talents to Republic of Ireland boss Martin O’Neill when scoring twice as Preston moved off the foot of the Championship table after a 4-0 win over Wigan.

O’Neill handed Robinson his first cap for Ireland in the 4-1 mauling against the Welsh in Cardiff last month and the striker did enough to keep his place for the 1-1 friendly draw against Poland.
