Seamus Coleman played the final 30 minutes in the Republic of Ireland's 1-0 victory over Scotland that saw the Irish lift the inaugural Nations Cup.
With both sides having recorded comfortable victories over Wales and Northern Ireland, this evening's match at the Aviva Stadium, Dublin was the Nations Cup decider.
Robbie Keane's 23rd minute solo effort proved to be the winner as Ireland prevailed in front of a crowd of just 17,694. Everton youngster Seamus Coleman was on the bench, but came on as a 62nd minute substitute in place of Liam Lawrence.
The victory capped off a magnificent year for the ex-Sligo Rovers man. In addition to his Nations Cup medal, he has been crowned Everton's young player of the year and the Republic of Ireland U-21 player of the year and has accumulated 3 full international caps.
Looks like someone is going to need a bigger trophy cabinet...
