Wales put four past Norway

by Setanta staff , 12 November 2011

Wales stuffed Norway 4-1 on Saturday as Gary Speed's impressive run as manager goes on.


Speed's men took a 2-0 lead in the Saturday friendly when Gareth Bale and Craig Bellamy both netted. Portsmouth front man Erik Huseklepp did pull one back for the Scandinavians, but two late strikes from sub Sam Vokes glossed up the home victory in Cardiff.

Bale began scoring matters after just 11 minutes, the Tottenham Hotspur ace cracking a shot from an acute angle beyond visiting goalkeeper Rune Jarstein.

A curling effort from Bellamy then gave the home side a 2-0 interval advantage, before a howler of a moment from Wayne Hennessy allowed Huseklepp to halve Norway's deficit.

Bale, however, set Vokes up for a tap in that finished the Norwegians off with two mintes left, and there was even time for him to score a second with a low shot from 20 yards or so.
