    The feet from Aaron Ramsey are incredible to set up the chance for Tyler Roberts. This goes from back to front, and they play through the visitors with ease again, but it's a good save by Darren Randolph to deny the teenager his first international goal.

    Tyler Roberts almost scores on his Wales debut! He gets the ball on the halfway line, goes off on a great run, takes on a couple of defenders - plays a one-two with Aaron Ramsey, and his shot aimed at the bottom left corner is saved by Darren Randolph.

    He's been excellent again, everything he does, he leads by example and oozes quality. It is why he plays for the biggest club in the world and it is why the Republic of Ireland fans are on their feet applauding him off.

    Sometimes you just have to give credit where credit is due. A lot of the Irish fans have witnessed a top performance from a top player in Gareth Bale.

    Wales are so comfortable that they can bring off Gareth Bale - to a standing ovation. Leeds' 19-year-old forward Tyler Roberts is on for his Welsh debut.

    How many youngsters do Wales have?!

    Wales 4-1 Republic of Ireland

    This game is fizzling out a bit now. It's lost that feeling that Wales could go on to hit seven - and there's not going to be a comeback.

    Irish sub Enda Stevens puts in a cross which just goes past everyone and out for a throw-in. Poor.

    Aaron Ramsey seems to think he's up against that Danish futsal side and just backheels it to an Irish player.

    Would a second Irish goal make things interesting now? Callum Robinson's cross is cleared and Seamus Coleman is denied as he tries to flick his way into the box.

    It's an absolute gift by Aaron Ramsey in a dangerous position of the field. You can lose a little bit of concentration when it is all going so well, but credit to Shaun Williams, who showed real composure to dink the ball over Wayne Hennessey.

    Ethan Ampadu comes off - he's really had an excellent game. On comes Manchester City teenager Matthew Smith, who is on loan at FC Twente.

    Shaun Williams

    The comeback is on! Wales are so completely comfortable that Aaron Ramsey tries to be too clever outside his own box and loses his balance, Shaun Williams nicks the ball off him and dinks it over Wayne Hennessey. A lovely finish to be fair.

    Callum Robinson puts in a cross from the left which Wayne Hennessey deals with. The Republic have offered so little up front.

    I watched a bit of Armenia v Liechtenstein earlier and I think Liechtenstein had more about them going forward.

    It is just damage limitation for the Republic of Ireland now. They are able to get bodies back but there is no organisation and Wales are able to play around them.
