Parrott's double spares Republic's blushes after Andorra take brief lead

Troy Parrott’s second-half double helped Stephen Kenny record his first win as Republic of Ireland manager with a 4-1 friendly success over Andorra.

Marc Vales headed Andorra into a surprise lead seven minutes after the break before Parrott struck his first international goal to level.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker netted his second with a back-post header.

Jason Knight and Daryl Horgan put some gloss on the scoreline with late goals.

The result ends the Republic’s 11-game
