Read our privacy policy Gareth Bale says Wales must learn “the dark arts” after conceding a last-minute goal that saw them beaten 2-1 by Nations League opponents Holland. We are still a young team, and we have to learn from stuff like that and take it forward.” Norrington-Davies looked to have extended Wales’ unbeaten home record when he struck his first Wales goal to cancel out Teun Koopmeiners’ opener. But Holland went straight up the pitch and Weghorst’s superb header inflicted a first home defeat on Wales since November 2018, ending a run of 19 games unbeaten on Welsh soil. Bale won his 104th cap after being sent on for the final 13 minutes, but Wales slid to a second Nations League defeat following last week’s setback in Poland.
