    You can never complain with five goals.

    I could name so many brilliant performances but Ceri Holland was superb for me.

    It has set them up well for a very different test against France on Tuesday.

    Job done for Wales.

    On what has been a wet and windy night at Parc y Scarlets, Wales proved too much for Greece.

    Sophie Ingle, Kayleigh Green, Ceri Holland (2) and Tash Harding got Wales' goals on the night as they move top of Group I - temporarily at least.

    France will regain top spot by closing out victory against Kazakhstan, they currently lead 4-0.

    All focus now goes to Tuesday's crucial clash between France and Wales in Guingamp.

    Gemma Grainger will be delighted with what she's seen tonight, but next week's match will be a completely different test.

    After winning the corner it's Rhiannon Roberts who wins the header.

    But despite making a couple of errors in the first half, Greece goalkeeper Anthi Papakonstantinou makes a great save to keep the score at five.

    There will be a minimum of three minutes of time added on in Llanelli.

    Can Wales pinch a sixth late on?

    Rhiannon Roberts wins the ball back - again - and wins a corner. The defenders are up.

  6. Green voted player of the matchpublished at 89 mins

    Wales 5-0 Greece

    Former Wales international Gwennan Harries has picked Kayleigh Green as today's player of the match.

    As well as scoring Wales' second, Green was influential from the first minute and caused the Greek defence all sorts of problems.

    A worthy winner.

    Wales 5-0 Greece

    The game has lost a little tempo in the last few minutes, but Wales remain totally comfortable in possession.

    It's been a very professional performance from Gemma Grainger's side tonight, one which has delighted the rather damp crowd in Llanelli.

    A well deserved ovation for Jess Fishlock. She is a heroine in Wales, on and off the pitch.

    Wales 5-0 Greece

    With goal difference playing a part in the group stages, and Estonia putting six past Estonia earlier today, Wales will not take their foot off the gas in these closing stages.

    Jess Fishlock has a shot blocked as she drives into the box as Wales sense a sixth.

    But that is Fishlock's final say in the match, as she's replaced by Charlie Estcourt.

    Exciting play from Megan Wynne, that's what she does well is run at players.

    All they can do is watch her dancing feet.

    Incredible skill from Megan Wynne down the Wales right, she beats two Greece defenders with ease before chipping a cross the back post which is just about dealt with.

    Lovely play from Wales.

    Wales 5-0 Greece

    Helen Ward edges closes to her 100th cap, as she comes on for her 97th appearance in a Wales shirt.

    She comes on with Megan Wynne, with Kayeligh Green and Tash Harding making way - perhaps with an eye to the France game next week.

    There are more changes for Greece too, as Grigoria Pouliou and Christina Kiamou come on for Sofia Kongouli and captain Eleni Kakambouki.

    Wales 5-0 Greece

    Carrie Jones is already impressing.

    From a similar position to Ceri Holland's second goal, Jones goes for power but Anthi Papakonstantinou makes the save.

    The rebound however falls to Tash Harding just a couple yards out, but with her weaker left foot she puts an effort just wide.

  17. Changes for both sidespublished at 67 mins

    Wales 5-0 Greece

    Ceri Holland could have had a hat-trick on another day, but her evening is over as she's replaced by 18-year-old Carrie Jones.

    The Manchester United youngster already has five caps for her country, but she'll be looking to get her first goal in the final 20 minutes this evening.

    Greece also make a change, Dimitra Karapetsa on for right-back Vasiliki Giannaka.

    Natasha Harding cannot stop scoring.

    The initial ball out wide from Jess Fishlock was brilliant, then the cross from Rhiannon Roberts and a great header from Harding.

    What a performance!

    Tash Harding

    It's a great team goal for Wales, and while Tash Harding gets the credit for the goal a big chunk of that should go to Rhiannon Roberts.

    The full-back makes a brilliant run down the Wales right and picks out a perfect back-post cross for Harding.

    Harding has to be brave to put her head in between Greek defenders, but she gets the decisive touch and a well-deserved goal.
