'From our point of view, we had a lot of the ball and a lot of shots so I am a little disappointed we didn’t go on and win it'

Nathan Collins’ magnificent individual goal earned the Republic of Ireland a 1-1 UEFA Nations League Group 1 draw away to Ukraine in Lodz on Tuesday evening.

The Burnley central defender slalomed through the Ukrainian defence to fire Stephen Kenny’s side into a 31st minute lead. Ukraine struck back two minutes into the second period with Artem Dovbyk sweeping home an Andriy Yarmolenko cross.
