Leeds United winger Daniel James saw a valuable UEFA Nations League point against the Netherlands snatched away in added time at the end of the second half on Wednesday night.
The Whites man played 77 minutes as Wales faced Louis van Gaal's Dutch side in Cardiff, but was left empty-handed.

Rob Page's men thought they had snatched a crucial result, until Burnley's Wout Weghorst directed a diving header into the Welsh net two minutes later to seal all three points.
Consequently, James and his teammates remain bottom of their group with no points and risk relegation to League B at the end of this Nations League cycle.
This result followed Wales' historic qualification for the FIFA World Cup finals last weekend, as the nation of three million people defeated Ukraine to secure passage to their first finals since 1958.

Wales have two more Nations League matches this month, against Belgium and the reverse fixture versus the Netherlands in Rotterdam.
Elsewhere, Mateusz Klich and Liam Cooper were both unused substitutes as Poland and Scotland played out two very different Nations League encounters.
Klich's Poland teammates were beaten handsomely by Belgium, shipping six goals and scoring just once, but remain in with a chance of Nations League success if they can turn around their fortunes versus the Netherlands and Belgium once more in the coming week.
Meanwhile, Liam Cooper's evening was a little less chaotic at Hampden Park as Scotland strolled to a 2-0 victory over Armenia in their Nations League group.

Scotland's win sends them to the top of their League B group, ahead of Ukraine, Armenia and the Republic of Ireland, putting a stop to three consecutive matches without victory.
Next up for Cooper and the Tartan Army are trips to Dublin and Yerevan where they will face Stephen Kenny's Ireland and the reverse leg against Armenia.
