O'Neill was delighted with the performance and says his players are finally starting to feel like winners following a tough period of transition. He said: "We have [momentum]. Confidence is growing and a lot of these lads came into international football and didn't win a lot of games at the outset. Now they are starting to know how it feels to win. You can see in the dressing room what it means to them. A lot of them are going to have long international careers."
There are always periods with Northern Ireland where you don't win, and play through some difficult times. The best players have always had to do that. There is a lot of growth to come in the team, there's no doubt about that. We have to keep letting them develop naturally themselves and not put too much pressure on them.
