Craig Cathcart on international duty. Picture: Action Images
Watford defender Craig Cathcart helped Northern Ireland to a 3-2 victory over the Czech Republic on Monday evening.
The Hornets' centre-back played all 90 minutes of the friendly as part of a back three alongside Sunderland's Tom Flanagan and Leicester's Jonny Evans.
Northern Ireland held a commanding three goal lead at the break, following two goals from Paddy McNair either side of an Evans strike.
The Czechs threatened a comeback during the second half and scored two goals in two minutes to set up a nervy ending for Cathcart and co, but they held on to claim their first win in an away friendly for 13 years.
