Johnson offers creative spark as O’Brien helps Ireland to victory

Everton players Brennan Johnson and Jake O’Brien featured in Sunday’s UEFA Nations League matches for Wales and the Republic of Ireland. Johnson played 83 minutes and created four chances in Wales' 2-0 defeat to Denmark, while O’Brien played the full game as Ireland secured a 3-0 victory over Israel in Debrecen.

Denmark defeated Wales through a Ben Davies own goal and a strike from Gustav Isaksen. Meanwhile, Ireland claimed a clean sheet behind first-half goals from Troy Parrott, Adam Idah, and Jack Moylan, aided by O'Brien's nine clearances and seven recoveries.
