Michael O'Neill delighted by NI win over Russia

Michael O'Neill says his young players came of age in Northern Ireland's remarkable 1-0 win over Russia in the World Cup qualifier at Windsor Park.

Martin Paterson's header just before half-time proved enough to stun Fabio Capello's side and give O'Neill his first win in his 10th game in charge of Northern Ireland.

"There were big performances right throughout the team," said a happy O'Neill.
