Four games, five goals, two wins, two draws, two clean sheets. Craig Bellamy’s Wales vision is anything but painting by numbers but the hard facts offer plenty of promise. Harry Wilson’s third goal in his past three games for his country, this one from the penalty spot, earned victory and led to the Fulham midfielder becoming the first Welshman since Gareth Bale at Euro 2016 to achieve the feat. Wilson is becoming a key player having been involved in eight goals in his past nine Wales appearances (five goals, three assists).
Joe Allen, 685 days after last pulling on a Wales shirt for a miserable defeat by England in Qatar, entered in the second half to a warm ovation after reversing his decision to retire from duty. Not that it was a sentimental move from Bellamy, who sought to prevent another second half spiralling out of control.
