Wales 1-1 Belgium: Brennan Johnson rescues draw as Wales grab first Nations League point

Match report as Brennan Johnson cancels out Youri Tielemans' opener; Ethan Ampadu had an early goal ruled out by VAR for offside and Johnson's goal had to survive a VAR check; Belgium boss Roberto Martinez thought the equaliser was offside and called the lines "comical" and "not reliable"

Brennan Johnson came off the bench to grab gritty Wales a point in a 1-1 draw with Belgium as Roberto Martinez fumed with VAR's decision to award the goal.

Belgium took the lead after 51 minutes when Leandro Trossard broke down the right and found Youri Tielemans,
who beat Wayne Hennessey with a precise low finish from the edge of the box.

Wales, who had a spectacular Ethan Ampadu half-volley ruled out by VAR inside four minutes after Joe Rodon had just strayed offside in the build-up, were level three minutes from time through Johnson's first international goal.

Aaron Ramsey did brilliantly to slide the ball through and Johnson, much like he has done all season for Nottingham Forest, finished superbly - the goal standing after a long VAR check.

On first viewing it looked like Johnson had been correctly flagged offside but the VAR review showed him to be just level. That decision was criticsed by Belgium boss Roberto Martinez who questioned the level of technology used to draw the offside lines, calling it "comical" and "not reliable".
