Northern Ireland defeated San Marino 4-0 in 2018 World Cup qualifying in a one-sided affair at Windsor Park in UEFA Group C on Saturday.

Goals from Steven Davis, Kyle Lafferty and Jamie Ward were enough to give the home side a clear advantage, although they failed to bury a glut of chances against the minnows.

Lafferty wrapped up the result with the last kick of the game to claim the fourth of the night.
