Dion Charles’ first international goals earned Northern Ireland a 2-0 Euro 2024 qualifying victory over San Marino as Michael O’Neill made a winning start to his second spell in charge.

Charles broke his international duck when he prodded home in the 24th minute, and then headed home a second 10 minutes into the second half as Northern Ireland opened their Group H account with three points.

Charles had gone 13 internationals without scoring before this match, but the goals were little surprise given he has bagged 18 in 42 appearances for Bolton this term.
