The Wolves striker, frozen out at Molineux, scored both Wales goals in a 2-0 friendly win against a limited, if competitive, Luxembourg.

And Toshack said of the out-of-favour striker: "Some players don't take the opportunity when it comes along, but Freddy really grasped the chance to show what he can do."

He added: "He is facing stiff competition at Wolves and probably hasn't completed 90 minutes in ages.

"But he's a good finisher and took his two goals very well. I am sure that will have done his confidence the world of good."

Eastwood has not started a game for Wolves since Christmas, and has only recently intimated that he may have to leave the midlands outfit if he does not get more action.

He has at least been seeing some action for Wales and, even though he looked short of match fitness, now has four goals in seven internationals.

Toshack added: "I was pleased with the result and pleased with Eastwood.

"We had a few players like him who were short of match fitness out there, we have had to do that with so many players missing.

"But despite that there were plenty of positives, and he was one of them."
