Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Darren Randolph was a relieved man last night after seeing his side beat the World Champions Germany at the Aviva.
The 28-year-old West Ham United reserve goalkeeper, who replaced Shay Given in the 35th minute, was the provider for Shane Long’s strike that secured Ireland’s 1-0 win over the Germans in last night’s Euro 2016 qualifier.
However, Germany’s Thomas Muller had a great chance inside the box in the last few minutes of the game to draw level, and the stopper was asked what he was thinking at the time.
Let’s just say he experienced a feeling of “relief”.
