Northern Ireland's slim Euro 2012 hopes are dashed by Estonia after a 2-1 defeat.

Northern Ireland's slim Euro 2012 hopes were dashed with a 2-1 defeat at home to Estonia.

The hosts took the lead in the first half when Steven Davis capitalised on a fumble by the visiting keeper to slot home.

Estonia drew themselves level after the break when Konstantin Vassiljev was fouled in the penalty area by Craig Cathcart, before the striker found the net from the spot.

The visitors' winner came in controversial circumstances as Vassiljev struck from 30 yards, but not after Nigel Worthington's men had stopped playing for what they thought, incorrectly, was an offside.
