Wales 1-1 Belgium: Brennan Johnson scores first international goal in the 87th minute to earn first Nations League point for Rob Page's side against familiar foes

Aaron Ramsey produced a dazzling piece of skill to create a first international goal for Brennan Johnson and ensure Wales avoided a third straight defeat of this Nations League campaign.

They are still celebrating in these parts after Wales qualified for their first World Cup since 1958 and just when they looked to be heading for a loss against Belgium here, there was a moment of pure magic from Ramsey.

The midfielder appeared to have lost his footing on the edge of the box before regaining it and delivering a remarkable backheel for Johnson, whose calm finish was originally ruled out for offside but then awarded after a VAR check.
