Kyle Lafferty: 'Northern Ireland were excellent against Finland'

Kyle Lafferty praises Northern Ireland's performance during their 2-1 European Championship qualifying victory over Finland.

Kyle Lafferty has said that Northern Ireland's performance during their 2-1 victory over Finland was "excellent".

Lafferty scored twice at Windsor Park to bring Northern Ireland a step closer to European Championship qualification.

"Obviously it's all going right for me at the minute and I'm enjoying it," Lafferty told Sky Sports News.

"The first goal, I decided to hit it first time and luckily it went in. But it's down to the team, everyone was excellent today. Although I'm getting the goals and the rewards you have to look at the team performance.

"It was obviously nervous but we deserved to win the game. It was excellent today, the attitude, the heart and the team performance."

The result sees Northern Ireland stay in second in Group F with four wins and one loss.
