Chelsea youngster – Ethan Ampadu, is extremely happy to be heading to the World Cup after helping Wales to a surprise victory on Sunday afternoon.
The Welsh had a difficult job against a Ukraine squad that had the world’s support as well as a lot of emotional energy behind them.
However, Wales did a fantastic job against them, and Ampadu, who played in a back three, did put in fantastic performance as well.
The Chelsea defender started on the right side of a three-man defense as Robert Page’s team sealed a narrow 1-0 win over Ukraine in Cardiff, thanks to an own goal from Andriy Yarmolenko.
Ethan Ampadu played the entire 90 minutes of the game as Wales finally booked their place in the World Cup after a 64-year wait.
Ukraine put a lot of pressure on the Red Dragons, specifically in the second half, as the visiting side urgently tried to get back into the play-off contest.
Wales held on to their slim goal difference and clean sheet and finally won the historic match owing to a series of crucial blocks, most notably from Tottenham defender Ben Davies.
Despite having only 32% possession and 10 shots compared to Ukraine’s 22, the sea of Red erupted in celebration in Cardiff following the final whistle.
“Weβre going to the World Cup.” – the Chelsea Youngster wrote on his twitter page.

Ethan Ampadu has been a regular for his country for a long time despite suffering for minutes at club level – this season, he has played a lot and added a lot more Wales caps to his tally.
With the result, Wales will now compete in the World Cup in Qatar later this year for the first time in 64 years (their last appearance was in 1958), and will be placed in Group B alongside England, the United States, and Iran.
The 21-year-old earned eight appearances for Wales in the World Cup qualifying round, and while he doesn’t appear as certain to start for Chelsea as he has in the past, he has the ability to play a role for the Blues β perhaps even this season.
