Evan Ferguson and Adam Idah goals cemented the Republic of Ireland’s 4-2 aggregate UEFA Nations League playoff victory over Bulgaria but it was Troy Parrott who took home the Sky Ireland Player of the match award at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday evening.

A second consecutive 2-1 victory saw Heimir Hallgrímsson’s side build on the momentum gained in Plodliv the previous Thursday.
