Roy Hodgson: 'England hard work paid off against Wales'

England manager Roy Hodgson praises his players for making their hard work pay off their 2-1 Group B win over Wales at Euro 2016 on Thursday afternoon.

England manager Roy Hodgson has praised his players for making their hard work pay off in Thursday's 2-1 win over Wales at Euro 2016.

The Dragons took the lead in the first half thanks to a Gareth Bale free kick, but substitutes Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge struck to give the Three Lions all three points, the latter goal coming in second-half injury time.

Hodgson told reporters after the game: "It is amazing. We played so well against Russia and conceded in the 93rd minute and today we worked so hard in the second half and pushed and pushed and then scored in the 92nd minute, I suppose it shows things do even out but it is rare to see them even out in the space of two games.

"If I had been watching from afar and not been with England and watching Wales play some other opponent I would have felt very sorry for them but they will have to excuse me not feeling sorry for them because I want to be pleased with ourselves."

England, now on four points, face Slovakia in their final Group B game on Monday night.
