Nations League: Wales relegated and France flop as Virgil van Dijk secures Netherlands win

Virgil van Dijk scored a late winner against Belgium on Sunday night to secure the Netherlands' spot at next June's Nations League finals.

The Liverpool defender nodded home in the 73rd minute to secure a 1-0 win in Amsterdam. The Netherlands will be joined in the four-team tournament by Croatia, who scored twice in the second-half to confirm a 3-1 victory against Austria in Vienna.

Austria's Christoph Baumgartner cancelled out Luka Modric's early opener for the visitors before Marko Livaja and Dejan Lovren struck to ensure Croatia finished top of Group A1. Their win spared France's blushes, as they would've been relegated had Austria won.
