The loss means that Wales have failed to qualify for a major tournament for the first time since the 2018 World Cup.

In last night’s friendlies, Jude Bellingham scored a late leveller as England drew 2-2 with Belgium at Wembley Stadium. Ivan Toney scored his first England goal from the penalty spot. Aston Villa midfielder Youri Tielemans scored a brace for the Belgians.

Scotland lost their second consecutive game, thanks to a wonderful strike by Conor Bradley – giving Northern Ireland an impressive victory at Hampden Park.

Xherdan Shaqiri’s free-kick gave Switzerland their first win in six matches in Dublin. John O’Shea’s Ireland side were winless in this international break.
