Northern Ireland striker Josh Magennis admits that he is delighted by his side's qualification for Euro 2016 following their 3-0 victory over Greece at Windsor Park.

Northern Ireland striker Josh Magennis has admitted that he is overwhelmed by his side's qualification for Euro 2016.

The forward was handed a starting berth against Greece due to the suspension of Kyle Lafferty to lead the line for Michael O'Neill's men.

Magennis netted the second goal in his side's 3-0 triumph as he managed to guide the ball over a defender on the line after latching on to Oliver Norwood's corner, which secured their place at the tournament next year in France.

He told Sky Sports News: "I honestly can't put it into words. It came off my shoulder but I don't care. We have been working on set-pieces all week, they are a big part of how we play.

"We may not have the best quality but we never give up. Once you have that fight you can be a formidable team."

Northern Ireland have reached the finals of a major tournament for the first time since 1986.
