Toshack appointed Craig Bellamy as Wales captain in the absence of Ryan Giggs and the Liverpool striker justified his manager's faith in him with his performance on Wednesday.

"Craig produced an outstanding performance. Everything he did was outstanding and it proves it was the right decision to make him captain," said ex-Red Toshack.

"Craig has been excellent. He has grown into the job since he has been with us, he has understood the extra responsibilities and it showed on the pitch.

"You could see the positions he was taking up, dropping into different areas so he could link up better with people."
