Gareth Bale celebrates after setting up the winning goal
"I have been told that I am joint top goal-scorer, but it is not important to me. If we win every game 1-0, we win the title and I don't score again, then I really couldn't care less. For me, it is just about winning whether it is an own goal or someone else scores in our team."
Gareth Bale's comments in the build-up to Wales' meeting with Northern Ireland were prophetic. The tournament's joint-top scorer did not add to his tally in Paris, but he still provided the moment that mattered to send Chris Coleman's men marching into the last eight.
