To start things off with football from Euro 2016 where Wales took on Russia in their final Group B match. The Welsh are competing in their first major tournament since the 1958 World Cup and a win against bottom of the pool Russia would see them secure a place in the knockout stages. Much of their success depends on Real Madrid star Gareth Bale, and the winger would step up once again in Toulouse.

Wales 3 - Russia 0

And just 11 minutes in, Wales take the lead when Aaron Ramsey beats the offside trap and finishes with a fine chip over goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev to make it 1-0 Red Dragons.

Then off another counterattack nine minutes later, Neil Taylor easily scores from inside area to make it 2-0 and put Wales on track for an easy victory.

But not before Bale adds the finishing touch with a third goal in the 67th minute for his third tally of the tournament as the Los Blancos man becomes the first player to score in three successive matches, since the Czech Republic's Milan Baros in 2004.

3-0 would be the final score, sending Wales through and Russia home.
