Martin O'Neill hails "magnificent" Republic of Ireland display against Italy

Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill hails a "magnificent" display by his side following the 0-0 draw with Italy at Craven Cottage.

Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill described his side's display against Italy as "magnificent" following the 0-0 draw on Saturday evening.

O'Neill's side could have won the match in the final moments as Stephen Quinn hit the crossbar against England's World Cup opponents.

"We were tentative early on but then we just roared into the match - we were magnificent," O'Neill told reporters.

The match was slightly overshadowed with the future of Roy Keane in the balance, but the Republic responded to last Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Turkey with a respectable draw in London.
