Gareth Bale demands Wales focus

Gareth Bale demands Wales focus

Gareth Bale has told his Wales teammates to remain grounded after beating Israel 3-0 to move top of Group B in Euro 2016 qualifying tonight.

Chris Coleman's side strengthened their qualification bid as Bale struck a second-half brace to add to Aaron Ramsey's opener in Haifa.

The Welsh moved two points clear of second-placed Israel - who have a game in hand - and the Real Madrid ace has warned that there can be no drop in standards.

"It was a top-of-the-table clash, so to come out on top is amazing," he told Sky Sports News.

"The first half was very hard, we did a lot of running, but we showed in the second half what a good team we area.

"We've put ourselves in a great position, but there's a lot of work to do yet, and all we can do is keep fighting and keep working hard."

Wales's next qualification outing comes in June when Belgium make the trip to Cardiff.
