Michael O'Neill hails "massive point" in "nerve-wracking" Hungary draw

Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill describes his side's 1-1 draw against Hungary in their Euro 2016 qualifier as "nerve-wracking", but hails the "massive" point gained.

Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill has described his side's 1-1 draw against Hungary in their Euro 2016 Group F qualifier as "nerve-wracking".

Richard Guzmics looked to have fired the visitors to victory when he found the net from close range, while the hosts were reduced to 10 men as Chris Baird was sent off for two bookable offences.

However, Kyle Lafferty pounced on a loose ball into the box four minutes into injury time to fire into the roof of the net and earn the hosts a share of the spoils at Windsor Park.

O'Neill told BBC Sport: "It was nerve-wracking to say the least. We dominated the game first half but Hungary came into it. It was a mistake for the goal and a red card but then we saw true grit.

"It's a massive point for us. At 1-0 down our head-to-head with Hungary was still better as we scored two in Budapest so we couldn't go too gung-ho. It wasn't vintage, but it was pure theatre."

Northern Ireland continue to lead Group F on 17 points - one ahead of second-placed Romania - with two games to go.
