Wales Smash Russia To Top Euro 2016 Group

England and Wales have made it through to the last 16 of Euro 2016, but Wales topped group B after beating Russia 3-0.

England drew 0-0 with Slovakia in Saint Etienne to finish in second place in the group.

Some Wales fans were seen in tears after destroying Russia in Toulouse in a match that had been designated "high risk" for fan violence.

Thomas Roberts, 21, from Bala, said: "This is the happiest day of my life. Seriously.

"What a night. It's just been incredible and we're off to Paris."

Mark Bleasdale, 47, added: "It's been an incredible night, the atmosphere here had been incredible.

"The only thing which could have improved it would be having had a ticket."

Among those celebrating on the pitch was Gareth Bale, who scored the third of his side's goals.

Wales's progress past the group stage comes in their first ever European Championship finals.

Their first goal was scored by Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey and the second by Swansea City's Neil Taylor.

The results mean that Wales will be off to the Parc des Princes in Paris to play the third place team from either Group A, C or D on Saturday, 25 June.

England will travel to Nice to take on the second place team in Group F, which is currently Iceland, but could also end up being Portugal, Austria or Hungary, in a week's time.

England manager Roy Hodgson said afterwards: "I can't fault the effort that the lads put in and it's a little bit embarrassing that we've dominated three games and only won one of them."

Russia's coach Leonid Slutsky conceded that a new manager should be appointed for his team before the World Cup is held in the country in 2018.

Wales manager Chris Coleman said he was delighted with his side's win and said more was to come.

He said: "I said before that there's more to come for this group.

"Even after this tournament is over, this group are on the way to something else.

"I'm just glad me and the staff are here with them. We have no fear. And after playing like that, why should we?"
