While it was an extremely pleasing night at the office from her own perspective, Kyra Carusa took the time to heap praise on another Republic of Ireland star in the aftermath of their UEFA Women’s Nations League triumph over Albania at Tallaght Stadium last Friday.

Supplementing a hat-trick from player of the match Katie McCabe, Carusa bagged a brace of second half goals to ensure the Girls In Green recorded a 5-1 victory and moved five points clear at the summit of this inaugural competition’s Group B1.
