AFC Bournemouth
Gavin Kilkenny started for the Republic of Ireland under-21s away in Bosnia and Herzegovina and was a 'class above' with his performance.
The Cherries midfielder, a breakout performer for Scott Parker so far in 2021/22, was equally impressive in Zenica as his Ireland side claimed an impressive 2-0 win.
Another exceptional performance from Bournemouth star Gavin Kilkenny (21) at the base of midfield 🇮🇪⚽️🔥

Tyreik Wright, currently on loan at Salford City from Aston Villa, had grabbed the first goal of the away match from the penalty spot - Kilkenny involved as he took the free-kick that ended in the spot-kick being awarded.
In the European Under-21 Championship qualifier Kilkenny shone throughout, taking the corner that a pass later saw the ball in the back of the net thanks to Conor Coventry's controlled finish.
Those celebrations 😍

The midfielder is in action for his country again on Tuesday when the under-21s continue their qualifying campaign in Dudelange with an away match against Luxembourg.
