The bonus is that this result means Wales can look towards making a head start in their bid to qualify for another World Cup. Harry Wilson, who has now scored four goals in his past five matches for his country, capped an impressive comeback victory over Iceland, who led inside seven minutes courtesy of Andri Gudjohnsen. Liam Cullen scored twice before Brennan Johnson got on the scoresheet and Wilson thrashed in a fine strike from distance.
The last time these sides met in Cardiff a No 11 by the name of Gareth Bale scored a goal for the ages and here the heir to that shirt number, the lively Johnson, offered Wales breathing space on another fine night for Bellamy. The Wales manager is now six games unbeaten and, more significantly, this win ensured his team topped Nations League Group B4, with Montenegro's 3-1 victory at home to Turkey paving the way for Wales to clinch an impressive promotion to Group A.
