Welsh dragons breathe fire

Azerbaijan 0 Wales 2

Goals from Gary Speed and John Hartson had the records tumbling as Wales maintained their 100% record at the head of Group Nine, significantly now five points clear of Italy and with the return against the battered Azeri side next up in Cardiff in March.

But by making their run eight games without defeat, stretching back 14 months, Wales have now matched their nation’s best-ever run.
