Wes Hoolahan received a lot of love for his first-half performance

Eamon Dunphy isn't on punditry duty for RTE tonight, but you could probably guess what his half-time analysis would be.

Wes Hoolahan, his favourite Republic of Ireland player since John Giles, has had a brilliant 45 minutes against Moldova. The Norwich midfielder played a perfectly weighted pass into the path of Shane Long after two minutes for Ireland's opener. The Southampton striker will be relieved to have netted his first goal since May, and he would've broke his duck sooner had he been getting passes like this. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/785191602012782592 Hoolahan's performance on his return to the team, and that pass, went down very well with Irish fans. And the team will need him to continue playing well as Moldova equalised on the stroke of half-time. https://twitter.com/HistoryLOI/status/785191006337720320 https://twitter.com/ConanDoherty/status/785190327007281152 https://twitter.com/GaryTraynor1/status/785192950091440128 https://twitter.com/DaveOCKOP/status/785190325979639812 https://twitter.com/barryomahony4/status/785190694843510786 https://twitter.com/MrNiallMcGarry/status/785190350294020100 https://twitter.com/lisafallonsport/status/785192962934308873 https://twitter.com/SleevesElliott/status/785190326101282816 https://twitter.com/ericlalor/status/785190193783533568 https://twitter.com/stephenmcaleer/status/785196645478703108 https://twitter.com/BrendanK67/status/785196586636836868 https://twitter.com/pritchxrd_/status/785196421020549120 https://twitter.com/DeadIyAnder/status/785195648320757761 Catch up with the latest episode of Football Friday Live right here...
