World Cup: Oliver Norwood calls on Northern Ireland to maintain high standards

Oliver Norwood is looking for Northern Ireland to preserve the team spirit which helped them to a point in Portugal.

Norwood's midfield partner and national skipper Steven Davis is a veteran of some big nights on the international stage, not least wins over England and Spain, but he considers the result in Portugal to be one of the best he has achieved. He said: "It's a big highlight for me, especially being away from home to a top team like Portugal. "We worked really hard and the shape was really good. We frustrated them for long spells. "Maybe they deserved a goal in the end but hopefully this gives us the confidence for the next run of games coming up."
