Wales boss Chris Coleman "gutted" after last-minute England defeat

Wales boss Chris Coleman describes his side's last-gasp 2-1 Euro 2016 defeat against England as 'gutting' but admits that his side need to concentrate on Russia.

Wales manager Chris Coleman has expressed heartbreak at losing 2-1 to England in the dying stages of their Euro 2016 Group B meeting in Lens, but insists that his side must move on.

The Dragons took the lead in the first half thanks to a Gareth Bale free kick which was misjudged by Joe Hart, but the Three Lions rallied round to equalise through Jamie Vardy and steal the win in second-half injury time through Daniel Sturridge's strike.

Coleman told reporters after the game: "A point for us would have fantastic. They are a very good team, very strong. Congrats to Roy, he made some good substitutions and we knew they would push us back. Most of the time we looked quite strong and although they had a lot of possession I wasn't that worried.

"The guys showed great heart. They stuck into the game and with 60 seconds remaining, to give up that point we worked so hard for, we are gutted but we have to move on. We are here to get through to the last 16. If you are from Wales, you always looked at this game because it is England but for me it is the middle game of three. We move on and have to show a reaction against Russia.

"When you are bringing on the likes of Vardy and Sturridge and Sterling and Kane are going off, they are top players. We knew that it would be tough, it was a good old fashioned derby. They had been on such a good run coming into this tournament, we knew they would be disappointed after a point against Russia and they would come on strong. It wasn't to be in the end."

Wales's last group game, against Russia, takes place in Toulouse's Stade Municipal on Monday night.
