Ryan Giggs believes his Welsh team have inherited his old Manchester United’s side’s habit of late winners.
Giggs made his name in a trophy-laden career at Old Trafford under Sir Alex Ferguson.
United’s feats contained plenty of dramatic late goals, including the 1999 Champions League final.
Now Giggs own Wales’ side are on a roll in the Nations League after successive late 1-0 wins.
They beat Bulgaria with a brilliant injury-time header from Neco Williams after Kieffer Moore’s 80th minute goal in Finland.

“It was our best move of the game and it came in the last minute.
“You need that desire , quality and fitness.
“I was really proud of the players how they kept going.
