FT: Wales 3-1 Finland
Well this is all very positive for Wales isn’t it?
The numbers don’t lie and the stats around their Nations League group B4 win make for very happy reading.
Wales are now unbeaten in 11 competitive games for the first time ever, winning eight and drawing three since losing to Hungary in June 2019.
They also went over 12 hours without conceding a goal in competitive matches until Teemu Pukki’s goal, as Wales made it 10 games without defeat at home, also a new record.
Gareth Bale has been directly involved in 14 goals in his past 14 home games for Wales, scoring nine and assisting five, but even he was overshadowed by a superb performance by Daniel James, who reminded a lot of people just how good he can be.
Wales will now be promoted to the top tier of the Nations League and that is only going to help with future seedings and possible play-off places for major tournaments.
And all that despite Aaron Ramsey and Joe Allen being unavailable throughout the campaign.
Another excellent international break for Wales fans.
