Ben Davies hails "phenomenal" Wales win

Wales defender Ben Davies has praised his side's Euro 2016 qualifying 1-0 win in Cyprus, describing the achievement as "fantastic" and "phenomenal".

Gareth Bale's late header in Nicosia secured a narrow victory for Coleman's side to ensure that victory over Israel at the weekend would confirm qualification.

Davies told reporters: "It's a fantastic result. The performance wasn't really up to the standards we have set ourselves but sometimes you have to come to places like this and grind out a result. It's a phenomenal feeling."

The victory preserved both Wales's unbeaten record in qualifying and their position at the top of Group B, and leaves them five points clear of third-placed Israel, whom they face at home on Sunday.
