New boy Kasey McAteer looking to Greece after 'dream' debut

Kasey McAteer is already looking ahead to Greece on Tuesday night after his 20-minute debut against England on Saturday.

The Leicester City winger had a lot of family members at Aviva Stadium to witness his first outing in green as he replaced Adam Idah 75 minutes into the Republic of Ireland's 2-0 defeat to England.

Despite some bright moments, the 22-year-old Northampton native couldn't alter the outcome of a game that looked beyond Ireland from the moment Jack Grealish made it 2-0 in the first half.

However, McAteer did believe he had a credible shout for a penalty after a coming together with Trent Alexander-Arnold in the box.

"I felt a pull on my arm. I don't see why I would just go down in a position like that when the ball is in a great flight path for me to just nod it in, but it wasn't looked at and it wasn't given so we have to move on from that now," McAteer told RTÉ Sport.
