That was a remarkable Irish performance, notable for the team's positivity and the virtual absence of the jitters you would expect from such a game.
Jonathan Walters was the hero, scoring twice. The first from a fortuitous penalty, the second a volley from a tight angle.
Here's how those Twitter reacted as we qualified for Euro 2016.
France, here we come.
Judging by the response here in Connolly's pub, there won't be a cow milked in Chiswick tonight.
