Here are Shoot’s selected Top 5….

5. Robbie Brady (Ireland)

Brady has impressed for Ireland in qualifying

In Zenica, Brady scored a valuable away goal as Ireland drew 1-1 with Bosnia.

Finding himself in a more unnatural right wing position, the 23-year-old collected the ball five yards to the right of the box. After some close touches he worked the ball back through his legs, onto his more favourable left foot. Having put his marker off balance, the Norwich star was able to take advantage of the space he’d created with another touch, before firing the ball in low past Asmir Begovic’s left hand.

Ireland won the second-leg 2-0 to seal a 3-1 aggregate victory and their place in the finals next summer.
