Wales coach Page 'emotional' after shock win against Croatiia

Wales coach Rob Page was proud of his players after their surprise Euro qualifying win against Croatia.

Fulham midfielder Harry Wilson scored both goals for the 2-0 victory.

Page had gone into the game with doubts over his future and said afterwards: "Actions speak louder than words.

"I'm sick and tired of having to keep coming on and talk about my future. Let's just talk about the lads and the performances they have put in.

"I get emotional because I'm so proud of them and they deserve all the plaudits they are going to get.

"I would say it's the best performance [of my reign] - I am immensely proud.

"In all aspects... how we defended against an excellent team with one of the best midfields in the world. To a man, we were outstanding."
