CRAIG Bellamy promised not to sit back and defend against group favourites Belgium tonight after brushing aside Liechtenstein to go top of their World Cup qualifying group.

Wales coasted to a 3-0 win over Liechtenstein on Friday, the world’s 205th ranked team, as second-half goals from Harry Wilson and Kieffer Moore added to Joe Rodon’s 39th-minute opener.

It was defender Rodon’s first international goal and Wales had complete domination of a one-sided contest with 27 goal attempts to zero.

Wales face a far tougher challenge in Brussels, although the Dragons did have the bonus of Belgium being held 1-1 in North Macedonia on Friday night, thanks to a late home equaliser.
