The right-back called it a ‘Mad game’, and that may be the most apt description possible.

It truly is a perfect summary of what we saw on Tuesday evening. It was a game that had everything you could ever want from what looked like it would be another boring run of the mill qualifier, unless you're Roy Keane or Lee Dixon, who both fumed at the defensive display in the ITV studio.

In the end, England got the result they wanted, but luckily for the viewing public, it was a game that provided a lot of entertainment.
