Evan Ferguson has scored his third senior goal for the Republic of Ireland.

The Albion striker netted early in a 4-0 win over Gibraltar at Estadio Algarve.

He was withdrawn midway through the second half and can turn his attention to club action at the Etihad on Saturday.

Ferguson needed just eight minutes to put the Republic in front when Chiedozie Ogbene played a well-weighted pass into the run of full-back Matt Doherty, whose cross was tapped home first-time by the unmarked striker.
