Jonathan Williams laments conceding two goals in the final 15 minutes against Croatia that cost Wales the points in their World Cup qualifier in Swansea.

Wales international midfielder Jonathan Williams has admitted his disappointment at his side's 2-1 defeat to Croatia in their World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.

Second-half goals from Dejan Lovren and Eduardo saw the Croats come from a goal down to take maximum points at the Liberty Stadium in Swansea.

"It was an unbelievable experience to play alongside Gareth Bale and Craig Bellamy but it is a shame about the result," BBC Sport quotes Williams as saying.

"When you play against the likes of Luka Modric, you expect that sort of second-half performance from them.

"It is a shame we could not hold on. It was hard night, we knew they would come at us in the second half. We gave Croatia a good game and it shows we are improving every game."

Wales are now fourth in Group A with six points from as many matches, while Croatia are second with 16 points.
