Northern Ireland defender Conor Bradley says he is "buzzing" after he scored the winning goal against Euro 2024-bound Scotland at Hampden Park.
In a raucous Hampden Park, Scotland had the majority of the possession but struggled to break Michael O'Neill's visitors down.The travelling support were sent into raptures when Bradley's curling effort took a touch off Jack Hendry and flew into the top corner for his first international goal. "To defend the way we did for the 90 minutes and keep a clean sheet here at Hampden, obviously Scotland are going to the Euros and they are a great side full or Premier League players, it is just brilliant."Manager O'Neill said he was delighted for match winner Bradley, who has become a crucial cog in Northern Ireland's upturn in form.
"I felt there was certain things where we needed a little bit more, we maybe didn't link the play as well and we turned the ball over, but in terms of attitude to the game - it was terrific and the energy and distance the team covered was fantastic.
