Sheffield United Star Tom Cannon Scores First International Goals in Routine Friendly Victory

Jack Moylan scored a debut hat-trick and Ireland used five second-half goals to cruise past Grenada.

  • On Saturday, the Republic of Ireland cruised to a 5-0 victory over Grenada at Enrique Roca Stadium in Murcia, Spain, with Sheffield United striker Tom Cannon scoring twice in the international friendly.
  • With the match falling outside a designated FIFA window, Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrímsson utilized the friendly to assess fringe players from Championship and League One teams.
  • Cannon netted two goals within ten minutes of the second-half restart, while debutant Jack Moylan ensured the win was remembered by scoring a hat-trick to secure man of the match.
  • Assessing his players, Hallgrímsson stated Cannon "should have had a hat-trick as well," highlighting the friendly's value in testing squad depth and identifying potential.
  • Tayo Adaramola earned a call-up for the match against Qatar at the Aviva Stadium on May 28, after his 45-minute performance warranted a second cap.
