Joe Allen was understandably in a buoyant mood after he helped Wales to an impressive 3-0 victory over Russia at Euro2016 on Monday night.

The Dragons dominated the Russians in Toulouse to bounce back from their dramatic 2-1 loss to England and finish top of Group B in their first ever European Championships.

Liverpool midfielder Allen was thrilled with the performance of he and his teammates who showed an enormous amount of heart to recover from a heartbreaking defeat to their neighbours by producing one of the most-sided displays of the tournament thus far.

"I thought we started the game so well, from start to finish we thoroughly deserved the win," said Allen, who set up Aaron Ramsey's opener.

"To win in style like that is a special moment for Welsh football, I think.

"We had the disappointment of the late goal against England, but we didn't let it affect us. You can see how resilient the boys are."
