Wales coach Coleman delighted with victory in Israel

Wales coach Chris Coleman was delighted with their comfortable 3-0 win at Euro 2016 qualifying opponents Israel.

Wales reached the halfway point of the campaign top of the group after brushing aside Israel 3-0 in Haifa, Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey opening the scoring on half-time with a looping header and Real Madrid star Gareth Bale adding two more in the second half.

"We controlled the tempo of the game and it was a great performance," Coleman said.

"Israel is a good team and a difficult place to come in front of a big crowd and very passionate supporters, but we stayed calm and composed.

"Our objective after five games was to be in the top three and we have done that.

"We have not done half a job but we are improving and that's a good sign.

"To come away from home and beat a team that's top of the league 3-0, a team that beat one of the favourites, Bosnia, here 3-0; that's definitely one of the best results, for sure."
