Wales manager Ryan Giggs enjoyed a memorable first home match in charge as his side thrashed the Republic of Ireland 4-1 in the inaugural UEFA Nations League at a rocking Cardiff City Stadium on Thursday.
Wales had not beaten Ireland for 26 years and had scored only twice in their last seven meetings but ended that jinx with a spectacular opening 45 minutes in which Tom Lawrence and Aaron Ramsey scored either side of a classic Gareth Bale strike.
Connor Roberts made it 4-0 soon after the break and even Ireland's consolation scored by Shaun Williams was drowned out by a chorus of Welsh anthems echoing around the stadium.
