Wales coach Chris Coleman was pleased with their showing against Holland last night.

Holland captain Arjen Robben produced a Dutch masterclass with a second-half brace as Wales fought back twice before eventually suffering only a second defeat in 11 games.

Coleman said he saw enough signs to be encouraged after goals from Crystal Palace midfielder Joe Ledley and Emyr Huws eventually proved irrelevant.

"It was a good exercise, they are a good team who have been criticised a lot (after failing to qualify for Euro 2016) but they are still have top-quality players," Wales manager Coleman said.

"We knew it would be tough and we always want to win, but we got a lot of other things out of the game. We were competitive. We used our full number of six subs and were still competitive.

"We scored two goals without Bale and Ramsey, which is a big thing when you look at who was getting the goals for us in the qualification campaign.

"We also didn't have Hal (Robson-Kanu) so we were without our front three from the campaign but I was delighted for Tom Lawrence.

"He is a very good player, he has improved and has done very well for us and George Williams is also back after nearly a year out."
