• Jonny Williams scores five minutes from time to beat Bulgaria
• Stuart Dallas own goal gives Norway win over Northern Ireland

Jonny Williams brought Wales’s goal drought to an end with his first international goal five minutes from time to give his side a 1-0 victory over Bulgaria in Sofia.

The Charlton midfielder, who came off the bench with 18 minutes left, connected superbly with Neco Williams’s cross from the right to smash the ball high into the net, giving goalkeeper Nikolay Mihaylov no chance. The pair had combined the other way round for a last-gasp winner against the Bulgarians in early September. Ryan Giggs’s side, who had lost their last two matches without scoring, now top Group B4 following three wins and a draw from their four matches.
