Devlin's goal sends Northern Ireland to the top of their Nations League group

Northern Ireland beat Ukraine 1-0 at Windsor Park in Belfast, and one goal from Devlin was enough to send them top of their Nations League group.

The Nations League is a competition for European national teams. Sides are split into groups and play each other at home and away, and the group winner finishes top. BBC Sport reported the result and the goal, and the win moved Northern Ireland ahead of their rivals in the table.

Windsor Park is the national stadium of Northern Ireland, so the home crowd had the chance to see their side take control of the group. Ukraine left Belfast without a point. A single goal can decide a match like this, and this one did.
