Wales earned their first win under Craig Bellamy in Montenegro on Monday night. You can read the match report here.

Here's how the players rated in Niksic.

Karl Darlow 7

Nearly caught out by Jovetic in the first half and was saved by the crossbar, but made some smart saves to keep Montenegro at bay.

Chris Mepham 7

Didn't do an awful lot wrong, but did occasionally find himself outpaced in the first half. Did well to dig in after the break. Made more clearances than any other player.

Joe Rodon 7

Made some really good tackles and clearances to keep his side in it. However, was perhaps done a little too easily in the build-up to Montenegro's goal.

Ben Davies 8

Another really good performance. Defensively so solid again. Made a superb intervention on the line early on.

Connor Roberts 6

Was pretty quiet by this standards. Forced off with an injury. Subbed.

Ollie Cooper 6

Showed some real steel in the middle, but couldn't quite find that creative spark at times. Still, a decent first international start. Subbed.

Ethan Ampadu 6

Made some decent contributions defensively, but just wasn't as influential as normal.

Neco Williams 7

So often at the heart of his side's more promising moves. Couldn't always find the final ball, but never stopped working. Earned an assist.

Lewis Koumas 6

Showed some promising flashes and looked after possession well enough. A decent first start, but certainly more to come. Subbed.

Kieffer Moore 7

Showed terrific predatory instinct for opening goal. An aerial nuisance all night too. Did miss a sitter in the second half, mind. Subbed.

Harry Wilson 8 - STAR MAN

Was constantly looking to make something happen. So much energy all evening. Goal was sublime. Subbed.
