Ireland have picked up a morale-boosting 2-0 victory over Oman in tonight's international friendly at the Aviva Stadium.

Goals in either half from Kevin Doyle and Alex Pearce helped Martin O'Neill's side to a fully deserved victory ahead of Sunday's Euro 2016 qualifier against Georgia.

Doyle's 20th minute header from a Robbie Brady corner gave the home side the lead at the break before Pearce showed some good footwork inside the penalty area before stabbing-home a low shot.
