Daniel James scored the only goal as Wales won their Euro 2020 qualifier, and Leeds United supporters were all saying a similar thing.

The game was still in the first five minutes when James smashed the ball home from the edge of the box with his weaker right foot. It was a stunning effort, and he continued to cause problems until he was brought off during the second-half.
