Norway manager Gemma Grainger says Caroline Graham Hansen is a "special" player after the Barcelona star scored twice against Northern Ireland.

Enter Graham Hansen in blue-chip style for Norway’s third. The 29-year-old collected the ball on the halfway line and completed a blissfully easy one-two before beating Burns at her near post. The only surprise was that three remained the margin of Norway’s superiority until half-time.

If Northern Ireland are triumphant over the two legs then they will make it back-to-back European Championship qualifications. However, they know the task at hand against the Norwegians who beat Albania 14-0 across two legs in the first play-off.
