Michael O’Neill picked out the positives after his Northern Ireland side were unable to capitalise on a string of chances in a goalless Nations League draw against Belarus in Zalaegerszeg, Hungary.

Northern Ireland peppered Fedor Lapoukhov’s goal with shots in the opening 45 minutes, twice having goals ruled out and also seeing Eoin Toal’s header come back off the post and it ended up costing them the chance to go top of League C3.
