- Randolp helps Ireland maintain unbeaten run with a 3-1 win over Moldova
- Collins is unused sub for Wales during their 1-1 draw with Georgia
- Kouyate helps Senegal record opening 2-0 win over Cape Verde
Darren Randolph helped the Republic of Ireland maintain their unbeaten start to 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying with a 3-1 away win over Moldova.
The West Ham keeper played his part in helping Martin O'Neill's side make it seven points from their opening three games and put them in a strong position just behind Serbia in Group D.
Shane Long fired Ireland into the lead after just two minutes and although Moldova grabbed an equaliser, two goals from James McLean helped them come away with another important victory.
Randolph will now be hoping they can extend their unbeaten run when they prepare for the next World Cup qualifier which takes place against Austria on 12 November.
James Collins was an unused substitute as Wales suffered a setback in their qualifying campaign as they had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Georgia at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Fellow Hammers defender Angelo Ogbonna was also an unused sub as Italy had to come from behind to secure a 3-2 away win over Macedonia in Group G.
There was better news for West Ham midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate as he helped Senegal record a 2-0 victory over Cape Verde in their opening World Cup qualifier.
Sofiane Feghouli appeared as a second half substitute for Algeria as they drew 1-1 with Cameroon in their opening game.
