WATCH: Gareth Bale scores a stunner and sets up another as Wales thrash Republic of Ireland


Gareth Bale was at his brilliant best as he scored another rocket for Wales before setting up another great goal by Connor Roberts.

Ryan Giggs enjoyed his first competitive game in charge of Wales as they put the Republic or Ireland to the sword in Cardiff with a 4-1 win in the new Nations League.

Bale scored the second goal of the night - and his 30th international goal for Wales - with a trademark thunderbolt from 20 yards in the first half.

Wales played fomr great football under new coach Giggs - none more so than for their final goal of the night when Bale squared the ball expertly for Roberts to volley in.

With so much good football and some cracking finishes there was plenty of show in Cardiff for Wales fans to be more than hopeful that Giggs transform them into international challengers again.
