Stuart Dallas was on target for Northern Ireland last night as they eased to a home win over Israel.

The Leeds winger scored Northern Ireland’s second goal in the 3-0 win, just his third goal for his country.

Dallas is one of the more senior players in Michael O’Neill’s side at 27-years-old and featured for the team at Euro 2016.

The past year has been a difficult one as he has been troubled by injury.

His well taken goal was a promising sign and will lift his confidence.

Dallas’s strike caught the attention of watching Rangers fans, some of who commented on social media to praise his performance.

Dallas is a Rangers fan, previously showing his support for the Gers and international teammate Kyle Lafferty.

Leeds United fans also had a few things to say about Dallas, who’s return to form has come at an important time.

The Whites are top of the Championship and are looking to maintain this with a tricky away fixture to Millwall at the weekend.

Dallas has featured as a left-back for Leeds over the past year, proving his versatility.

Last night for Northern Ireland he was thriving in his usual position as a winger.

He faces a big year ahead for Leeds, and must battle with Ezgjan Alioski for his place… who has scored twice over the internaitonal break for Macedonia.
