Page 'so proud' after Wales secure vital Croatia win

Rob Page was bursting with pride after Wales beat Croatia 2-1 to reignite their European Championship qualifying campaign.

A brace from Harry Wilson was enough for the Dragons, despite a nervy finish after Mario Pasalic pulled a goal back with 75 minutes played.

But Wales held on and moved above Croatia into second place in Group D with both teams level on 10 points.

Page, who had faced questions about his future in the build-up to Sunday's encounter said: "From the first minute right to the 95th, we had to dig deep. 

"With the help of the supporters, we have made it another great night for the lads.

"The boys dug deep. Their attitude again in this camp has been incredible. I wish you guys could come in and see it.

"Everything's okay. I can't praise them enough. I think seven of them are not starting at their clubs, but they put the Welsh jersey on and they play like that. They want to come and they enjoy it.

"I couldn't be any more proud of them. 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. We can't wait to meet up for the next game."

Wales captain Ben Davies added: "It's a big result for us. Our backs were against the wall and we knew what we had to do coming into the game.

"It's a big night but it means nothing if we don't back it up next month."

Wales' final two qualifiers in November will see them make a tricky trip to Armenia before a home clash with group leaders Turkey.
