N Ireland resilience pleases O'Neill

Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill believes his side's 3-3 draw at home to Finland gives them something to work on as they head into the qualifying campaign for the 2014 World Cup.

O'Neill admitted there had been defensive lapses but was heartened by the contribution of younger players like Shane Ferguson.

Northern Ireland's first qualifier is away to Russia on 7 September.
