A jubilant Wales side are on the cover of The National Sport on Sunday, June 13, 2016 after their 2-1 victory over Slovakia at Euro 2016.
Substitute Hal Robson-Kanu was the hero in Bordeaux as he latched on to a loose ball 10 minutes from time and finish past Matus Kozacik in the Slovakia goal. Gareth Bale had earlier given Wales a 10th-minute lead with a trademark free-kick.

Robson-Kanu – a striker currently without a club – supplied a dramatic end to a game in which Wales had to defend for their lives at times and protect back-up goalkeeper Danny Ward.
The Liverpool man was called in at the 11th hour after first-choice stopper Wayne Hennessey suffered a back spasm on the eve of the game.
