Brighton striker Aaron Connolly was left frustrated with his Republic of Ireland debut.

The 19-year-old Albion striker went off the bench with just 11 minutes remaining of the Euro 2020 qualifier in Georgia.

He had two chances to score, forcing a solid save from keeper Giorgi Loria and then firing into the side-netting in a cameo which lit up an otherwise attritional 0-0 Group D draw in Tbilisi.

Connolly said: "Like every striker, I feel I have to score that at 0-0 in a game like that. I should have scored. It's disappointing, but I feel proud as well.

"The confidence levels are quite high because of last week (scoring twice against Tottenham) and I felt if I came on, I would make an impact.

"I feel like I did but I feel like I should have scored as well. It's disappointing."
