“You know how good they are and that they are good people. Especially in penalty shootouts, it’s never nice for people to miss.

“I knew he’d be feeling really down and to be honest, he probably didn’t want me going over there thinking back, but I just wanted to give him a little bit of support because he’s a top player, a great lad and he’s still very young.

“He’s got the world at his feet and I’m sure he’ll bounce back and when he gets the opportunity again, he’ll step up and put the ball in the back of the net.”
