Chris Coleman "absolutely gutted" by late goal

Coleman "absolutely gutted" by late goal

Wales boss Chris Coleman has said that he and his players are "absolutely gutted" at conceding a late equaliser in tonight's international friendly with Finland.

The Dragons led at the Cardiff City Stadium through Andy King's 58th-minute goal, but Riku Riski raced clear to slot underneath Wayne Hennessey and snatch a 1-1 draw two minutes into injury time.

"We knew it would be hard and they set the pace early on," the 43-year-old coach told Sky Sports News.

"We found our rhythm in the second half, but when you are 1-0 up with two minutes to go you have to see the game out.

"One slip and we've been caught and conceded a goal. The lads and I are absolutely gutted."

Coleman recently signed a new deal with the Welsh FA.
