Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill finds positives in his side's display during their 3-3 draw with Finland.

Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill has said that he was pleased with his side's display during their 3-3 draw with Finland.

The Irish threw away a two-goal lead at Windsor Park to fall behind in tonight's friendly, and had to dig deep in the second half to equalise.

"We started well with two good goals and I was obviously disappointed to lose that lead," O'Neill told BBC Sport.

"In the second half we had to dig in and despite being careless at times we created opportunities and deserved to get the equaliser.

"I'm pleased with the performance and the young players I introduced near the end did very well."

Northern Ireland's World Cup 2014 qualifying campaign gets underway against Russia in Moscow on September 7.
