Northern Ireland player ratings as Michael O'Neill's side get Euro campaign up and running

Bailey Peacock-Farrell

Had little to do on his return to the side, but was off his line smartly to deny Henri Anier in the second half. 7 (out of 10)

Jamal Lewis

With little to worry about defensively the Norwich man got forward regularly to offer support to Jones. 7

Jonny Evans

Neat and tidy as usual, and largely untroubled. 7

Craig Cathcart

Dealt well with a number of long balls and was quick to look to get his side moving the other way again with some impressive passing. 8

Stuart Dallas

A busy presence on the right, offering McGinn lots of support. 7

George Saville

A subdued presence in a first half most noticeable for a wasted free-kick, though he grew into the game after the break. 6

Steven Davis

Kept the side ticking over with his usual array of passing, and ended the game as a contest with his decisive penalty. 8

Paddy McNair

He will still be shaking his head in disbelief at his missed header, but he offered a solid attacking threat. 7

Jordan Jones

A constant threat down the left with his crosses, though he struggled to find green shirts at times. 7

Niall McGinn

A lively presence from the start and the man to break the deadlock, he was the stand-out player. 9

Kyle Lafferty

Struggled to make an impact between Estonia's towering defenders, though did well to set up McGinn's opener. 6

Substitutes

Josh Magennis (for Lafferty 76) - Warmed the hands of the goalkeeper with a couple of late shots. 7

Shane Ferguson (for Jones, 81) - Came on as Northern Ireland were looking to consolidate. 6

Conor McLaughlin (for McGinn, 84) - The right-back had little time to make an impact. 6
