Iwan RobertsGuestWell, we're going to get your assessment of one particular striker tonight and how the Wales defenders cope with him.
But first, first things first, Wales have won in Group A of the Nations League for the first time.
And for the first time in Craig Bellamy's Wales reign, they've beaten a side ranked higher than the Moose.

Considering we sort of suffered a setback after 10 minutes, the crowd stayed with us, or stayed with the players, and they showed a lot of heart and a lot of bravery.

And look, starting in League A with two away games like that, it's always going to be hard.
To come here tonight and put that performance on, not going to lie, me and Blakey were talking about it probably 20 minutes, half an hour in.
