Watch: Shane Long Scores Vs Moldova, But It's All About A Gorgeous Wes Hoolahan Assist

The Republic of Ireland are off to the perfect start away to Moldova in tonight's World Cup qualifier thanks to a brilliant goal from Shane Long. It was created by a delightful through ball from Wes Hoolahan, who was brought into the side for this very reason.

What a shame he's 35. So good.

What a ball from Wes - this is just the third competitive away match he's started for Ireland
