Iraq thrashed Palestine 3-0 in a football match that will be remembered less for its scoreline and more for celebrations better suited to the lifting of a siege.

Fans who had followed the fortunes of their team on TV roared deliriously as they saw the first players jog on to the pitch. More+video...
