Big away wins for Croatia and Ireland in Euro playoffs...!!!
Croatia defeated Turkey with 3-0 while Ireland went one better in Tallinn with a 4-0 win over Estonia.
The Czech Republic took a big step towards the finals in Poland and Ukraine next year with a 2-0 win over Montenegro.
Slaven Bilic's Croatia might have been expecting a tough test in Istanbul, but an early goal after just two minutes from Ivica Olic put the skids under the home side, set up by Tottenham Hotspur's Vedran Corluka.
Croatia extended the lead on the half hour mark as Darijo Srna floated over cross for Wolfsburg striker Mario Mandzukic to head home.
Turkey were in disarray and failed to pick up Corluka from a free kick early in the second half and he headed home for a third which has effectively killed the two-legged tie.
