Fans expecting goalrush at Lansdowne Road left disappointed

Ireland’s striker quartet remain without a goal after David McGoldrick saw his effort against Gibraltar chalked off an own-goal.

Enda Stevens admits it took some encouragement from Ireland manager Mick McCarthy to make them appreciate staying top of their Euro qualifying group.

An own-goal by Joseph Chipolina on the half hour and Robbie Brady’s late header sealed a 2-0 victory over minnows Gibraltar at Lansdowne Road.
