A poor clearance from Austria defender Kevin Danso was followed up by a loose header from Aleksandar Dragovic. The ball eventually landed at the feet of Woodburn, who picked the ball up 25 yards from goal and he rocketed his strike into the bottom corner of the net, beating Austria goalkeeper Heinz Lindner.

The goal proved to be decisive as Wales' 1-0 victory means Chris Coleman's side are now just two points off second-placed Republic of Ireland, with Serbia four points ahead in top spot.
