Chris Coleman 'immensley proud' as Wales top Euro 2016 group

Wales manager Chris Coleman paid tribute to the industry of his side following a 3-0 victory over Russia which saw them finish top of Group B.

Goals from Aaron Ramsey, Neil Taylor and Gareth Bale helped Coleman's team to an emphatic victory on an unforgettable night for Welsh football.

"We will savour it," said Coleman after the match. "The players were brave tonight, they did everything they are capable of on the ball, which we did not do against England.

"I said there was more to come from this group of players; they are on the way to something else, I am just glad we are on it with them.

"We will have to see who we get next - we will respect everyone - but we have nothing to fear."

As a nation, geographically we're small. But for heart, we were a continent tonight

Wales had lost 2-1 to England in the previous group game but Coleman claimed winning the group ahead of Roy Hodgson's favourites was merely a "bonus".

"Looking at the group with England, Russia and Slovakia we knew it was going to be tough, and it was all down to the last game," he said. "To win it was great. I'm very proud of the players.

"We enjoyed tonight and being at the top of the group is a bonus. The performance was really pleasing. 

"I've been a player myself. I'm so lucky to be experiencing something now as a manager, at a tournament, and to see the team perform like that, it's really pleasing.
 
"I'm immensely proud. Nights like tonight when you see your supporters... As a nation, geographically we're small. But for heart, we were a continent tonight."
