Coleman: 'Wales sloppy after red card'

Wales manager Chris Coleman has praised his side's dominant display in their Euro 2016 qualifying victory away at Israel, but admitted that the Dragons got "a bit sloppy" when the opposition fell to 10 men.

Aaron Ramsey headed the visitors into a one-goal lead on the stroke of half time, before a second-half brace from Gareth Bale sealed Wales a comprehensive 3-0 win at the Sammy Ofer Stadium.

Coleman told Sky Sports News after the game: "We got a bit sloppy after they had a man sent off. When we were 11 versus 11 we were magnificent.

"We controlled the game and the tempo. Some of our passing was fantastic. I think Israel only had one chance in the first half."

Wales now top Group B and are in pole position to qualify for their first major tournament since 1958.
