Indeed, the 21-year-old had goal chances in both matches.

His effort against Portugal came at a crucial stage, when Ireland were 1-0 up in the second half.

The shot from close range went wide, though Ireland felt aggrieved a penalty was not awarded for what appeared to be a push.

He also started in the 1-1 draw with Azerbaijan at the Aviva Stadium.

Tonight's game kicks off at 7.45pm, and is live on Off The Ball.
