Northern Ireland had to dig in against Luxembourg to get the point they needed to win their Nations League group and gain promotion.

Michael O'Neill's men produced an excellent display to take a 2-0 lead thanks to goals in either half by Isaac Price and Conor Bradley.

But the hosts hit back lates on with two goals in three minutes as Seid Korać and Gerson Rodrigues denied them a first away win of the campaign but they couldn't stop them claiming top spot in group C3.
