Arsenal scout Brian McDermott took in Northern Ireland's Euro 2016 qualifier this evening.

The Northern Irish claimed a famous 3-1 win over Greece at Windsor Park to book a spot at Euro 2016 in France next summer.




Captain Steven Davis scored twice, while striker Josh Magennis also chipped in with a superb goal, looping a header into the top corner of the net.

Greece pulled one back near the end, but never looked like threatening Northern Ireland's push to reach France.

And as they pulled off their heroics, booking a spot at a major finals for the first time since 1986, McDermott watched on.

It is not clear who McDermott had headed to scout, but the former Leeds United manager will have fed his report back to Gunners boss Arsene Wenger.

Northern Ireland can top their group this coming weekend if they can avoid losing to Finland on Sunday.
