Late Austria fightback leaves Northern Ireland facing Nations League relegation

Austria scored two late goals to sink Northern Ireland in Vienna (Florian Schrotter/PA).

Northern Ireland suffered more frustration as two late goals left them heading for relegation in the Nations League after a 2-1 defeat to Austria in Vienna.

Three days after their hopes of playing in Euro 2020 were dashed by Slovakia, it was generally a positive response from Ian Baraclough’s side but, after Josh Magennis put them ahead, late goals from Louis Schaub and Adrian Grbic condemned them to defeat and almost certainly relegation.
