Stephen Kenny has hailed his team’s persistence in overcoming four disallowed goals against Lithuania at the Aviva Stadium to claim an injury-time winner courtesy of Troy Parrott.

Ireland huffed and puffed, particularly in the first-half, but they should have done more than enough to have this international friendly in the bag before the young Dubliner struck in the 97th minute with a piledriver from outside the box.
