Veteran Gareth McAuley and substitute Niall McGinn netted as Northern Ireland shocked Ukraine 2-0 at Euro 2016 on Thursday to keep alive its hope of reaching the knockout phase.

A flying header from West Bromwich Albion defender McAuley and McGinn's injury-time strike at a hailstone-battered Stade de Lyon gave Ireland its first win at a European Championship finals.

Michael O'Neill's side produced the perfect reaction to losing its Group C opener 1-0 to Poland, giving it everything to play for against world champion Germany in next Tuesday's final group game.
