Former Wales captain Gary Speed was full of praise for Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey after his five-star performance in victory over Scotland.

For the last two years Ramsey, 18, has had to cope with the burden of being labelled the next Ryan Giggs.

And under Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, he is clearly coming along very nicely.

Speed said: "He is very special and lovely to watch, just a fantastic footballer.

"He reminded me of Cesc Fabregas, especially when he went through for his goal.

"If anyone can nurture a talent, it is Arsene and, in that respect, Ramsey is very, very lucky."
