Tottenham Hotspur defender Joe Rodon was in action for Wales last night as they played out a goalless draw with the United States at the Liberty Stadium.

The Spurs newcomer was named on the bench by caretaker manager Robert Page but came on in the 69th minute.

Despite only playing just over 20 minutes, Rodon did well in his cameo, helping the Dragons to a third consecutive clean sheet with a composed, assured display.

Wales Online gave Rodon a 7 out of 10 for his efforts and some fans were eagers to praise him on social media:

Wales’ attention now turns to the Nations League, with a fixture against the Republic of Ireland on Sunday and a meeting with Finland on Wednesday.

After the final international break of the year, Rodon returns to Spurs looking to continue working hard towards a first-team place.

To date, the 23-year-old has made just one appearance for Jose Mourinho’s side, a late cameo to help run the clock down against Burnley, and has made the bench twice more.
