IRELAND HAS QUALIFIED for the last 16 of Euro 2016 after beating Italy in tonight’s game in Lille.

The boys in green finished Group E in third place after the 1-0 victory.

Robbie Brady got the late winner for Martin O’Neill’s men and there was plenty of action on Twitter every step of the way:

Whoops!
