Bailey Peacock-Farrell's error led to Bulgaria's winning goal in the 40th minute
Michael O'Neill admitted Northern Ireland shot themselves in the foot as he dissected Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Bulgaria in the Nations League.
“We knew it would be a tough game against a team we know have a lot of physicality, a lot of power in their team, and that was a factor in the early part of the game. O'Neill admits his goalkeeper's attempt to pass the ball out from the back on a bumpy pitch was the "wrong decision" to make.
