Northern Ireland captain Jonny Evans believes that the consistency in the squad has been key to their success so far in qualifying for Euro 2016.

Michael O'Neill's side picked up a vital 3-1 win against the Faroe Islands yesterday that saw them climb to the top of Group I, and within a win of reaching the European Championships for the first time in their history.

The 27-year-old told Sky Sports News: "I think we've had great consistency in the squad, the performances have been excellent and the manager has got that spot on.

"We've still got quite a long way to go, I know we are one victory away but it's a big, tough game against Hungary and there is a lot of incentive for them also."

The Irish will take on Hungary in Belfast on Monday.
