Northern Ireland marked the opening of the newly-revamped Windsor Park with a comfortable 4-0 win over San Marino on Saturday evening. Steven Davis dispatched his penalty after Josh Magennis had been bundled to the ground by two defenders and substitute Kyle Lafferty grabbed a brace, before his assist helped Jamie Ward smash in a third.Mirko Palazzi was shown two yellow cards either side of the break for needless challenges to make life harder for the minnows as Northern Ireland went third on four points in Group C. FIFA president Gianni Infantino officially opened the new national stadium and it was rocking well before the kick-off, as the home crowd belted out Neil Diamonds 1969 hit Sweet Caroline to welcome the sides onto the field. The likes of world champion boxer Carl Frampton and golf superstar Rory McIlroy performed a lap of legends to the 18,234 fans in attendance. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99. No contract. The theme of the game became abundantly clear from the first whistle, as Northern Ireland took the game to the lowly visitors - ranked 201 in the FIFA rankings. Shane Ferguson and Jamie Ward were in their element on either wing, as time and time again, they delivered telling balls into the box, but their endeavour went unrewarded with striker Josh Magennis unable to get on the end of some excellent crosses. Steve Davis (L) of Northern Ireland shoots at Aldo Simoncini (R) of San Marino during the FIFA 2018 World Cup Southampton midfielder Davis was industrious, linking the play together and the breakthrough finally came when Magennis was blatantly fouled, leaving the referee no choice but to point to the spot. Up stepped Davis and although Aldo Simoncini guessed the right way, he was unable to prevent it from going into the bottom corner. While the task at hand seemed difficult to say the least in the first half, it would become pretty much impossible for San Marino in the second, when, after Michael McGovern had gathered in a high ball and looked to release Stuart Dallas, he was needlessly impended by Palazzi.The San Marino No 7, who had already been booked for a reckless tackle on Niall McGinn in the first half, was soon sent packing. Michael O’Neill says there is still plenty for Northern Ireland can improve upon despite beating San Marino 4-0 in Group C. With one eye possibly on the huge game against world champions Germany on Tuesday in mind, ONeill - who had left talisman Lafferty on the bench - turned to the Norwich striker to put the game out of sight.Minutes after his introduction, he duly grabbed a goal. Exchanging passes with Davis, he fed Ferguson out on the left and his wicked cross found Laffertys clever run into the box and he tucked the ball home. Kyle Lafferty was disappointed to be dropped from the team against San Marino but the striker hopes his two goals will boost his chances for a recall. Ward smashed in the third after Lafferty had flicked on the cross from Shane Ferguson and excellent footwork from man-of-the-match Davis ended with his flicked pass being smashed home for Lafferty to grab his second with virtually the last kick of the game.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the Japan Grand Prix on Sky Sports.

Its always been going after the next big star.We kept searching for the big star to change our fortunes which has never happened in the last 45 years or so, so reality is that this is probably the best way to go about the business aand to begin and to restart and do it the right way and put it together in a way that really makes sense.ddddddddddddJackson traded guards J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert to Cleveland this week in a three-team deal that could leave the Knicks with more than $25 million in salary cap space next summer. Jackson said he hopes to bring in five to six new players next season.He acknowledged making the wrong decisions on the team he put together this season, though he was hamstrung for financial reasons. He may not be done making moves, saying the Knicks could be active at next months trade deadline.I just think that no one should be surprised in what we do from here on out, Jackson said.Jackson, who won an NBA-record 11 championships as a coach, praised Fisher for remaining optimistic and keeping the teams future goals in mind.I think in a lot of ways thats what leadership is, Fisher said. Its not to gloat and smile and be happy when things are going well and take all the credit, but to still be consistent and persistent in who you are when things arent going well.Jackson also spoke highly of Carmelo Anthony, who hopes to return soon from a sore left knee.But the All-Star forward might be one of the few Knicks who is still around next season. Jackson said this seasons group didnt learn the teams triangle offence as quickly as he hoped, necessitating some of the moves hes made and the next search for talent.Jackson said that hes lost some sleep trying to figure out ways to improve the Knicks, but believes it will happen. He said Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan, who gave Jackson his first chance to be a team executive in March, has remained supportive.We hope were on the right track, even though this isnt the track we anticipated, Jackson said.
