Wales 4-0 Gibraltar: Kieffer Moore double hands Rob Page's side comfortable win as former Man United starlet Charlie Savage makes senior debut in lacklustre friendly in Wrexham

Wales celebrated their return to Wrexham in style but this friendly win over Gibraltar is unlikely to make it into Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's next Disney documentary.

The Hollywood stars have used their showbiz glamour to transform Wrexham yet this friendly was desperately short on drama. 

So poor were Gibraltar that when Wales took a 4-0 lead in first-half stoppage time, a repeat of their record victory – 11-0 over Ireland here in 1888 – looked on the cards.

Yet Rob Page's men could add no more after the break and it will be a different matter against Croatia in Cardiff on Sunday, where Wales realistically need to avoid defeat to keep alive their chances of qualifying for Euro 2024. 

'We drew with them in Split and proved we can go toe to toe with them,' said Page. 'We'll be ready for the challenge.'

Ben Davies captained the hosts and opened the scoring after 22 minutes in Wrexham

With several key men rested, it was a chance for some of Wales' emerging talent to shine. Charlie Savage – son of former Wales midfielder Robbie – proved himself a chip off the old block by flattening Gibraltar forward Tjay De Barr 11 minutes in. 

Sporting a white bench coat, Robbie was in the crowd to see his son make his senior international debut and would doubtless have enjoyed that moment. 'He deserves it,' said Savage. 'The spotlight has been on him greater because he is my son and people have wanted him to fail.'

On the midway point of the half, Wales took the lead when Ben Davies was left unmarked inside the six-yard box to head in Nathan Broadhead's corner. Three minutes later, Savage's cross was met impressively by Moore, who scored off the far post.

Broadhead added the third with a neat turn and finish before Moore claimed his second with another header from a cross by Dan James.
