Liverpool starlet Neco Williams wowed his country after scoring Wales’ winning goal against Bulgaria in the Nations League.
Ryan Giggs’ side looked like they would be forced to settle for a point as the final moments of the game ticked down. Liverpool’s up-and-coming right-back was subbed on in the 76th minute and it didn’t take him long to wrap up the match for the hosts.

In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Williams popped up to head home a goal at the death for Wales.
The 19-year-old highlighted his desire to grab a win over England when the two sides meet at Wembley next month in his post-match interview (via BBC Sport).
Loads of Liverpool fans went wild over Williams’ goal and are looking forward to seeing him back in action for the Reds. One supporter has tweeted that Liverpool and Wales is the ‘perfect duo’ whilst another praised the teen for his ‘flawless’ celebration.
