Isaac Price called Shea and Pierce Charles “ridiculous” after their starring performances in Northern Ireland’s 1-0 Nations League win in Georgia.

Goalkeeper Pierce Charles was named player of the match in Tbilisi after making a string of saves, denying Ballon d’Or contender Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from the penalty spot, before his brother Shea struck a stoppage-time winner to crown an outstanding midfield display.

It was only Shea’s second Northern Ireland goal on the night of his 36th cap, with the 22-year-old already one of the nation’s leaders on the pitch and, as of this summer, the most expensive Northern Ireland player in history following his £30million move to Fulham.

Pierce, 21, is two years into his international career, with Friday night his 13th cap, having already made the number one shirt his own.

Asked about having the brothers together in the squad, Price said: “You wouldn’t believe what they’re like to be honest. They’re the quietest, nicest people ever but they’re so good at football.

“It’s ridiculous. The pair of them are ridiculous. I think Pierce saved us three or four times in the game. He obviously saved the penalty but there’s bits of the game that he’s so good at as well. His passing, his distribution is so good and his shot stopping.

“Shea’s obviously a monster midfielder. That’s why he’s playing in the Premier League week in, week out. He’s come in at the end and scores the goal to get us a win.”

Price had chances of his own at the Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena but could not find a way past Giorgi Mamardashvili.

That made it nine international appearances without a goal for the West Brom forward, who scored eight in a run of nine games between his hat-trick against Belarus in October 2024 and his goal against Germany the following September.

“I think the opportunities are coming for me,” the 23-year-old said. “It’s just about now taking opportunities.

“I had three or four here, which I should have done better with, but hopefully with the home crowd (against Hungary on Monday), we can put it in the back of the net.”
