To win a game like that, that's why you play the game and love football so much. I'm extremely happy now but we didn't make that easy on ourselves.
It was a strange game for Northern Ireland, who went from being in complete control to looking shell-shocked in the space of five minutes after half-time.
I'm so proud of the character of the group, not only did we come back but we didn't settle for a draw. We pushed on for the three points.
