Republic of Ireland deserved at least a point against Poland, claims striker Shane Long.

Republic of Ireland striker Shane Long has said that his side are content with a point from their Euro 2016 qualifier with Poland.

Long scored a 90th-minute equaliser to salvage a 1-1 draw for the home side after Slawomir Peszko gave Poland a half-time lead, and he believes that it is the least they deserve for their efforts.

He told Sky Sports News: "I think in the first 45 minutes Poland were brilliant and it took us a while to get into them. The gaffer changed the shape and from then on we were in the game.

"We would have been disappointed not to get a draw, we could have got the win. It could be a massive point at the end of the campaign. Losing three points is massive so to keep them within touching distance is big.

"I think we need to be wining our home games, we need make it a fortress, but the main thing is not to lose. We will take the draw."

Ireland sit fourth in Group D.
