'We got a bit too comfortable' – Michael Obafemi relieved after ... (Independent.ie)

Ireland forward Michael Obafemi shared his thoughts on his terrific second half strike but admitted the Boys in Green got complacent while leading 2-0.

The result means Ireland remain in League B, with a return of two wins and a draw from six games. Once we won the game, that was the main thing. We certainly are capable of stringing 20 to 30 passes together no problem and switching the play but I still want to improve the amount of chances we can create in that time. “It’s a few minutes of madness and I think we can learn from that. “We thoroughly deserved it (the result). We lost a bit of structure.

Responded to the vote of confidence with a super turn and long range shot to make it 2-0. Has the potential to be the heir to Robbie Keane’s crown. Covered a large amount of ground with an end to end display. Backed by Stephen Kenny to come up with the goods after a mixed bag against Scotland. Set the tone early on with a high pressing line as the left of the back three. Deployed on the right of the midfield. Had a solid first period in the middle of the park. Booked in the 29th minute for a foul on Zelarrayan. The 30-year-old was handed a first international start since March last year in the left wing-back role as James McClean dropped to the bench. And got through the full 90 despite a lack of games at Spurs. Very lucky not to be sent off for a 47th minute pull-back on Grigoryan. A spectator in the first half – didn’t have a save of note to make.
