Wales vs Slovakia player ratings: Joe Allen impresses as Chris Coleman's side record memorable win

Substitute Hal Robson-Kanu struck late on to give Wales a winning start in their Euro 2016 campaign with a 2-1 victory over Slovakia.

Robson-Kanu struck 10 minutes from time after Slovakia substitute Ondrej Duda had scored a 61st-minute equaliser.

Gareth Bale had given Wales a 10th-minute lead with a trademark free-kick, the 20th goal for his country.

Chris Coleman's side had failed to win any of their four friendlies since securing qualification, but Real Madrid forward Bale had not started any of those games and his presence in attack was a more than welcome sight.

How did we rate each player's performance? Who impressed at the Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux and who should England be wary of when they play these two sides in the remaining group games?

Take a look at our ratings in the gallery above.
