Wilson spot-on to help Bellamy's unbeaten Wales roll over visitors

Craig Bellamy became the first Wales manager to go unbeaten in his first four matches after edging out Montenegro. It was not all liquid football but there was more promise as Harry Wilson's third goal in three games, this one from the penalty spot, earned victory and saw him become the first Welshman since Gareth Bale at Euro 2016 to score in three consecutive matches.

Wilson has been involved in eight goals in his past nine Wales appearances (five goals, three assists). Joe Allen, 685 days after his last appearance for his country, a miserable defeat by England in Qatar, entered midway through the second half to a warm ovation.

One of the prime issues Bellamy has to contend with is a familiar one: the volume of Wales players not exposed to regular game time who arrive on international duty undercooked in terms of match fitness. Ben Davies, Wales captain in the absence of the injured Aaron Ramsey, who was watching on from behind the home dugout, is yet to play a single minute for Tottenham in the Premier League this season. Neco Williams, the architect of both of Wales's goals in Iceland on Friday and again impressive here, has started three games for Nottingham Forest this campaign.

Bellamy acknowledged it is far from ideal but also that Wilson's fine form for his country makes a mockery of it all. "It's strange, huh?" Bellamy said in the buildup to the match. "I didn't realise he was this good." Wilson has played about 40 minutes in the league for Fulham this term, almost 400 for Wales across four matches.
