Northern Ireland's collective spirit pleases Evans

After playing a crucial role in Northern Ireland's 0-0 draw with the Czech Republic, Jonny Evans shared the plaudits with his team-mates.

Jonny Evans hailed Northern Ireland's team ethic after it battled to a point against the Czech Republic in the teams' World Cup qualifying opener.

The West Brom defender was one of the star performers in a fine defensive display in Prague, with his side holding out for a scoreless draw. But Evans was quick to emphasize that hard work throughout Michael O'Neill's team had contributed to a clean sheet.

"It's a team effort, right from the front we're all working our socks off," he told Sky Sports.
