Gareth Bale’s daughter may have got the biggest cheer on a historic night for Wales.

Wales are through to the quarter-finals of Euro 2016 thanks to an unfortunate own goal from Gareth McAuley.

After the final whistle blew, the Welsh players celebrated their triumph on the pitch and Gareth Bale, who essentially provided the assist for the winner, savoured the moment with his young daughter Alba.
