Plymouth Argyle defender Victor Palsson helped Iceland to a 2-0 win in Montenegro in their Uefa Nations League B match.

The 33-year-old, who has played six times for the Pilgrims since joining in the summer, came on as a 19th-minute substitute for injured captain Aron Gunnarsson and played the rest of the game.

Iceland scored twice in the final 16 minutes to consolidate third place in their group behind Wales and Turkey.

Should Iceland beat Wales in Cardiff on Tuesday they would move into second place and earn a promotion play-off.

Meanwhile, fellow Argyle defender Kornel Szucs was an unused substitute as Hungary were beaten 4-0 by the Netherlands in Amsterdam.

Liverpool's Cody Gakpo was among the scorers as the second-placed Dutch opened up a three-point gap to third-placed Hungary.

Szucs' side face group leaders Germany in their final game on Tuesday - the Germans have already done enough to top the group.
