Wes Burns double gives Wales U21 win in Luxembourg

Wes Burns double gives Wales U21 win

Wales Under-21s have maintained a perfect start to their qualification campaign for Euro 2016 with a victory away to Luxembourg Under-21s.

Geraint Williams's side took the lead on 35 mins when Josh Sheehan teed up Wes Burns before the Bristol City man slotted past Valentin Roulez.

Just on the hour mark, Ryan Hedges came close to making it 2-0 after his shot had the beating of the Luxembourg keeper, but not the post.

However, Wales doubled their advantage moments later when Harry Wilson, three minutes after coming on as a substitute, latched onto Hedges's cross to score a second for the visitors.

On 72 minutes, the Welsh then wrapped up victory after Burns netted his second of the evening.

Dejvid Sinani pulled a goal back in stoppage time, but it proved to be a consolation as Wales ran out 3-1 victors.
