Healy ends up with goals for both sides

Green machine: David Healy celebrates his goal
13 April 2012

David Healy scored at both ends on the night that he was presented with an award from UEFA president Michel Platini.

Healy was handed his award, marking a record 13 goals in Euro 2008 qualifying, before kick-off. He went on to score his team's second, but his joy was soured as he later netted an own goal.

Kyle Lafferty scored the first in the 25th minute, slotting in after Steve Davis had squared.

All-action Healy added a second in the 33rd minute when his deflected strike from 25 yards flew in. Within three minutes, Lafferty made it 3-0.

Healy crossed from the right and the Burnley attacker headed in from just outside the six-yard box.

Healy's own goal came after 54 minutes. Maik Taylor saved a penalty from Tskitishvili but Healy steered the loose ball into his own net as he defended the rebound.

A late fourth for the home side arrived when Aaron Hughes's header was bundled over the line by Levan Kobiashvili under pressure from Peter Thompson.
