England vs. Wales: Goals and Highlights from Euro 2016 Game
Local rivals England and Wales met in Lens on Thursday for a pivotal Euro 2016 Group B match.
Gareth Bale had talked up Wales' chances before the clash, and he backed up his words with devastating action. He put the underdogs ahead with a stunning long-range free-kick on 42 minutes, though Joe Hart will be disappointed with his effort.

England manager Roy Hodgson attempted to change things by bringing on strikers Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge at half-time, and the former levelled things on 56 minutes with a sharp close-range finish following Ashley Williams' accidental flick-on.
