Ramsey and Roberts give Wales victory over Turkey

Ramsey failed to convert two chances early in the first half

Wales captain Gareth Bale set up Aaron Ramsey and Connor Roberts to score for a 2-0 victory over Turkey in their Group A match on Wednesday to take a big step towards qualifying for the European Championship knockout stages.

Ramsey failed to convert two chances early in the first half but scored just before halftime when he made a run through the middle to chest down Bale’s perfect ball over the defence and slip it past the goalkeeper.
