Harry Wilson came so close to continuing his sensational scoring streak as he rattled the post during Wales’ goalless Nations’ League draw with Turkey on Saturday night.
The in-form Fulham winger hit the woodwork at the end of a sweeping counter-attack in first half stoppage time – striking the base of the post from Mark Harris’ cross before the rebound rolled just out of Brennan Johnson’s reach.
The Welsh had a stroke of a luck late on as Kerem Akturkoglu missed a late penalty to extend Craig Bellamy’s unbeaten start since succeeding Rob Page as national team coach to five games. This battling point leaves Wales second in Group B4, two points behind Turkey and two ahead of Iceland following their 2-0 win in Montenegro.
Wales will secure at least a Nations League play-off place in March by avoiding defeat at home to Iceland on Tuesday while knowing victory would secure top spot and promotion to League A should Turkey lose in Montenegro.
This lad with great positioning and striking skill. He will have a great future if no any serious injury.
