Leeds United striker David Healy was the hat-trick hero at Windsor Park as Northern Ireland sprang a major shock with a 3-2 Euro 2008 qualifying win over Spain.

The 27-year-old twice brought his side level, before netting the winner ten minutes from time, to erase the memory of a 3-0 loss to Iceland at the weekend in spectacular style.

Healy told BBC Sport: "We let down people on Saturday, but what was written got a little bit out of hand.

"We showed our character more than anything tonight and that should be a lesson for everybody.

"We have bounced back and it was a massive occasion. We wanted to put a bit of pride back in the Northern Ireland jersey."
