Northern Ireland: Michael O’Neill’s ‘exciting’ squad already looking forward to Nations League says Brodie Spencer

With the Andorra fixture preceded by the 5-1 defeat to Spain in Palma, Northern Ireland’s players spent 13 days together in a camp outside Murcia with Spencer pleased to end the almost two-week stint with victory.

“I think it was good to get a positive performance from the group,” he said of the fixture played in front of around 400 spectators.

“The game can be quite hard when it’s slow paced, not much from the crowd.

“It was down to us to create the tempo and create chances, which we did, so we’re pleased.”

Although Bradley’s goals grabbed the attention, Spencer was one of Northern Ireland’s better performers in the Estadio Nueva Condomina and he enjoyed linking up with the Liverpool man down the right side.

“Conor Bradley is going to go on and be one of the best players in the world,” added the 20-year-old.

“The season he’s had, he’s been unbelievable, so to be able to play with him is so good. It’s such a relief for me to have him, he’s always supporting me in difficult situations.”
