England Under-21s handed their young Welsh counterparts a finishing lesson at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground. Carlton Cole set up Jonathan Stead for the first early on then crossed for Peter Whittingham to blast a second.
Wales were denied when the officials failed to see that Owain Tudur-Jones' long-range effort had crossed the line.
Michael Dawson's header and another from Whittingham late on earned them a win that secures a Uefa Under-21 Championship play-off spot.
