Luxembourg tighten grip on third in Ireland's group

Gerson Rodrigues again did the damage

Luxembourg's Gerson Rodrigues

Gerson Rodrigues, who stunned Ireland at the Aviva in March, proved Stephen Kenny's nemesis again tonight with two goals against Azerbaijan as Luxembourg tightened their grip on third place in Ireland's World Cup qualifying Group A.

Azerbaijan, bottom of the section, weren't helped when defender Tellur Mutallimov saw red just 21 minutes in.
