Euro 2024 Qualifiers: Wout Weghorst Keeps Netherlands On Course As Ireland Stumble

sports.ndtv.com

Wout Weghorst kept the Netherlands on course for Euro 2024 as he came off the bench to bag the decisive goal in his side's 2-1 win against the Republic of Ireland on Sunday.

Ronald Koeman's team suffered an early shock when Adam Idah's penalty put Ireland ahead in Dublin in their Group B game. But Liverpool's Cody Gakpo netted a penalty soon after and the visitors wrapped up the points thanks to Weghorst's second half strike.

Currently on loan at German side Hoffenheim from Premier League club Burnley, the towering Weghorst's introduction at the interval proved a masterstroke by Koeman.

Weghorst had scored in the victory against Greece on Thursday and he showed no signs of sulking despite being initially left on the bench at the Aviva Stadium.
