WALES produced a sparkling display to romp to a 3-0 win over Russia in Toulouse and qualify for the Euro 2016 knockout stages as Group B winners. Here's how Chris Coleman's men rated.
Wayne Hennessey: Didn’t have a lot to do as Wales were rampant at the other end but was alive and alert to deny the Russians with vital saves on more than one occasion. 8
Neil Taylor: What a night to score your first international goal! The left wing-back was given licence to get forward at every opportunity and took full advantage. 8
Ben Davies: Didn’t have anywhere near as much work to do as in the previous two games but the Tottenham youngster was again mightily impressive in the back three. 8
Ashley Williams: After two shaky performances this was an easier night for the captain, though his misjudgement of a long punt could have been punished. 7
James Chester: Terrific again, belying his poor season with West Bromwich Albion. Interception started the move for the first goal and imperious at the back. Are you watching Tony Pulis? 8
Chris Gunter: The Newport-born defender celebrated winning his 70th cap in fine style and nearly had a goal when his cross was deflected into the side netting in the second half. 7
Joe Ledley: Another heroic shift in front of the three central defenders. Did the dirty work to let those in front of him flourish before tiring and being replaced by Andy King. 7
Joe Allen: Yet again the Liverpool midfielder thrived on the big stage with a superb showing. Set up the crucial opening goal with wonderful pass. Replaced by David Edwards. 9
Aaron Ramsey: Has the Arsenal man ever played better? It’s hard to think of a more impressive showing in a Wales shirt. Took goal expertly and provided assist for the third. 9 (Star man)
Gareth Bale: The Russians were scared rigid when he got the ball and understandably so. Took some heavy challenges but kept on running and deserved his goal. Replaced by Simon Church. 8
Sam Vokes: A surprise selection ahead of Hal Robson-Kanu and Jonny Williams, the Burnley striker should have scored in the first half but worked hard and was a handful for Russian defence. 7
