Saints midfielder Mohamed Elyounoussi scored his fifth international goal in Norway’s 1-0 Nations League win against Bulgaria.
Having played 90minutes as Norway beat Slovenia on Sunday, he found the top corner with a left-footed shot from close range in the 31st minute.
Shane Long came on as a 56th-minute substitute for the Republic of Ireland, but Wales scored the only goal two minutes later.
Elyounoussi is now preparing to take on an AFC Bournemouth team expected to include his Norway teammate Josh King at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.
