Northern Ireland Under-21s crashed to a heavy defeat by Iceland in Tuesday's European Championship qualifier.

The visitors were 4-0 up by half-time at Coleraine with Thor Vidarsson's penalty added to by Johann Gudmundsson, Alfred Finnbogason and Rurik Gislasson.

Gudmundsson's second made it 5-1 in the second half with NI sub Josh Magennis pulling a goal back for the home side.

Gislasson and Magennis both got their second goals to leave Northern Ireland with no points after two group games.

NI manager Steve Beaglehole had been hoping to see his young charges to bounce back after losing to the Czech Republic in their opening game.
