Euro 2020 qualifiers: Gibraltar v Republic of Ireland, plus Italy v ...

Republic of Ireland manager Mick McCarthy, speaking to Sky Sports: "I lied on Saturday [saying he hated every minute of the win over Gibraltar]. I loved the national anthem, standing for that, I loved our goal and I loved the final whistle. I didn't hate everything. That win gave us momentum, that horrible 1-0 win, but tonight was a 1-0 win of a different ilk. We played really well tonight. We could have put two or three past them.

"We negated their style of play. The lads worked an unbelievable shift and played really good football. We created opportunities and unfortunately didn't take them but we didn't let them in so one goal takes it."

On the fans' protest moments before Conor Hourihane's goal: "It didn't affect us. When things like that happen you have to really concentrate. I was conscious we didn't take the free kick and get done on the break. It didn't happen. Whatever was to happen it wasn't stopping that free kick."

On the draw between group rivals Switzerland and Denmark: "Switzerland were 3-0 up too. They are a very good side but maybe took their foot off the pedal. The top two could cut each others throats and allow us to pick up points. I think we should just concentrate on our two wins."
