Greece 0 - Northern Ireland 2: It’s top stuff for Michael O’Neill
JAMIE WARD and Kyle Lafferty claimed the goals that gave Northern Ireland a thumping win and kept them flying high at the top of Group F.
Michael O’Neill’s men made a bit of history as they have never before won their opening three games in a qualifying campaign.
Ward’s opener came after nine minutes when he rifled home a cross from Oliver Norwood following a corner.
Lafferty’s right-footed shot from outside the box sealed the game in the 51st minute after a quick break by Ward had set up the chance.
Greece piled on the pressure in a bid to get back into the match but the spirited Irish held firm.
