Wales collected a vital three points at Euro 2020 with a 2-0 victory over Turkey in the teams' second Group A match on Wednesday.

Aaron Ramsey took advantage of a leaky Turkey defense just before the break and Connor Roberts scored in second-half stoppage time to lead Rob Page's side in Baku, Azerbaijan.

The win gives Wales four points from their opening two games, good for top of the group as they await the result between Italy and Switzerland later on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Turkey have yet to record a point ahead of their final group game against the Swiss on Sunday.

Wales created chances throughout the first half and finally took the lead in the 42nd minute. Playmaker Ramsey ran into a wide gap left between the Turkish centre-backs before expertly chesting and slotting home a lobbed through ball from Gareth Bale with his right foot.

Bale squandered a golden opportunity to increase the lead around the hour mark. After winning a penalty with a tricky dribble on the edge of the box, the Wales No. 11 skied his shot from the spot well over the bar.

The shocking miss didn't prove costly, however, and Wales secured the points moments before the final whistle when Roberts slotted home after a corner kick situation.
