Wales started their Nations League opener with a 4-1 hammering over Ireland this evening.
Ryan Giggs watched on during his first competitive match in charge where Lawrence, Bale, Ramsey and Roberts helped them to victory which took them top of Nations League Group B4.
Williams got a consolation goal for the Irish by producing a lovely finish after nicking the ball from Ramsey, who was trying to be clever, and dinked it over Hennessey.
