Wales U21 5 Luxembourg U21 1

Posted on: Wed 01 Apr 2009

WALES Under-21s earned an impressive five-goal victory over Luxembourg at Parc y Scarlets and this time all three Wrexham-based players were involved from the start.

Only goalkeeper Chris Maxwell was in the original side to face Luxembourg away last Friday night, but in the return he was joined by both Neil Taylor and Jon Brown.

It was though Neal Eardley's first U21 goal that broke the deadlock, as he slotted home a 10th minute penalty after Joe Allen was fouled.

Two minutes later Eardley turned provider for Jon Brown before Andy King's header added a third and Simon Church made it four near the break.

Luxembourg pulled one back through substitute Ben Polidori before new boy James Wilson grabbed Wales' fifth.

Wales U21 manager Brian Flynn said: "We played better in Luxembourg last week and couldn't score.

"This time the shots went in and it was a good all-round performance.

"We have given seven players their debuts at this level in the two matches, and they have all gained a lot of experience.

"This all helps for their development and we have another good bunch of lads coming through."
