It has not been a bad few days for Neco Williams. Four days on from making his Wales debut, the Wrexham-born teenager popped up to score a stoppage-time winner, heading in after getting his “fringe on the ball”, as he so modestly put it afterwards. The Liverpool defender arrived in the box with purpose as one second-half substitute supplied another. One Williams located another, with Jonny hanging an inviting cross towards the back post for Neco to nod in and condemn Bulgaria to a Nations League defeat.
Williams wheeled away in celebration before a pile-on ensued. Ryan Giggs raised a smile on the touchline and Gareth Bale, who completed 90 minutes for the first time since January, embraced the full-back, who superbly beat Bulgarian winger Spas Delev to head goalwards in the nick of time and earn a youthful Wales a fourth consecutive victory without reply, winning four competitive games in a row for the first time since 2003. Next up? England in a Wembley friendly next month.
