Half-time substitutes Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge struck as England came from behind to move to the top of Group B.
Roy Hodgson rolled the dice and it came off. England, trailing at the break, are top of UEFA EURO 2016 Group B after a 2-1 win against Wales which came courtesy of second-half goals – including a late, late winner – from substitutes Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge. It was an end which few could have seen coming after a first half in which both teams had certainly stuck to the script, England dominating possession, Wales refusing to press too high in a bid to keep their shape. Roy Hodgson's side seldom unpicked the lock, Raheem Sterling missing the target with their best opportunity after a break from Adam Lallana. Gary Cahill, Chris Smalling and Harry Kane all threatened with headers, television replays showing that the Tottenham Hotspur striker's effort ricocheted off first the head and then the hand of Ben Davies. Gareth Bale puts Wales in front with a free-kick from 25 metres out. Enter Gareth Bale. The Real Madrid forward lined up a free-kick which looked too far out, but such was the dip and swerve that Joe Hart could only palm into his net. Cue the cavalry. Aaron Ramsey volleyed at Hart and Wayne Rooney tested Wayne Hennessey, but it was Vardy – brought on alongside Sturridge as Hodgson switched to a 4-4-2 – who restored parity, swivelling sharply to turn the ball in from close range after Wales had failed to clear a corner.Man of the match: Kyle Walker
England's No2 delivered an outstanding attacking display, supplying seven crosses for team-mates and 22 (out of 40) completed passes in the final third – a phenomenal statistic for a full-back.The world's most exciting and comprehensive social platform for sports fans.
