Long hitting form at key time for Euro 2020 campaign

Former Republic of Ireland striker Kevin Doyle says Shane Long’s goal for Southampton against Liverpool at the weekend will give the Tipperary man a much needed boost.

Long scored his first Premier League goal since January for the Saints in their 2-1 defeat to the Merseysiders on Friday night.

Speaking at the launch of the new Aviva Stadium Tour Doyle says an in-form Shane Long could be a real addition to Ireland in their Euro 2020 qualifiers against Denmark and Gibraltar this June.
