Ireland v Armenia LIVE score updates from World Cup clash in Dublin

Republic of Ireland beat Armenia 1-0 at the Aviva Stadium, with Evan Ferguson's close-range header sealing the win.
Needing three points to stay alive, the Republic of Ireland national team secured a crucial win that makes the Portugal visit to Dublin next month and Hungary in Budapest more meaningful.
In the 52nd minute, Armenia captain Tigran Barseghyan was sent off for headbutting Finn Azaz, and with 20 minutes remaining Azaz rolled a short corner to Will Smallbone for the decisive delivery.
Manager Heimir Hallgrimsson said he was frustrated that his side failed to `finish the game off` earlier, while Henri Avagyan made several important saves as the Republic of Ireland national team held on for their first Group F victory.
Three wins from the final three games are a must for the Republic of Ireland national team, but a Hungary national team win in Armenia next month could eliminate them if they lose to the Portugal national team at home.
