Michael O'Neill delighted with Romania draw

Michael O'Neill claims that Northern Ireland's goalless draw against Romania sets up his team nicely for their next Euro 2016 qualifiers.

Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill believes that his side's draw with Romania is an important result in their bid to qualify for Euro 2016.

The result leaves the Green and White Army two points clear of Hungary in second, with the top two side in each group guaranteed to reach next year's tournament in France.

O'Neill told Sky Sports News: "It's a big point for us and sets us nicely for the big double header in September. I thought my players were magnificent in terms of how they went about the game.

"We didn't come under that much pressure throughout the game and we created opportunities ourselves in what was a tense match."

Northern Ireland travel to the Faroe Islands for their next qualifier in September.
