Wales slipped to a 2-0 UEFA Nations League defeat to Denmark as Christian Eriksen continued his incredible goalscoring form in Aarhus. Gareth Bale captained Wales for the first time with veteran defender Ashley Williams rested after their win over Ireland on Thursday. Wales were to pay the price of leaving Denmark dangerman Eriksen unattended after 32 minutes. Bale saw a late deflected effort tipped away by Schmeichel and Ramsey sent a tame header straight at the Leicester goalkeeper. Eriksen almost completed his hat-trick in stoppage time with a 25-yard free-kick as Denmark saw the game out comfortably to move top of Nations League B Group Four.
