Blackburn Rovers defender Tom Atcheson made his Northern Ireland debut as Oxford United forward Jamie Donley scored in a 1-1 draw with Wales.

The 19-year-old came on as a substitute in the 80th minute to earn his first senior appearance for the international side under manager Michael O'Neill, who also manages Blackburn Rovers. Oxford United reportedly raised a complaint of conflict of interest after four of their players were called up for the international fixture.
