Daniel Sturridge elated after sealing England win over Wales

Daniel Sturridge admitted scoring England's dramatic winner against Wales was an "unbelievable" feeling.

The Liverpool striker, introduced at half-time, burst into the penalty area in stoppage time to thread the ball through a crowd of players and inside the near post to seal a 2-1 Group B victory.

Fellow substitute Jamie Vardy had equalised early in the second half after Gareth Bale's free-kick had deceived England goalkeeper Joe Hart to put Wales ahead at half-time.

Sturridge told the BBC: "It's a great feeling, unbelievable. I'm grateful for the opportunity from the gaffer.

"It's a beautiful feeling to represent your country in a great rivalry against another country. It's great. There's one more game in the group to go so no one's getting too excited but the atmosphere is unbelievable, and the togetherness between the two countries is amazing.

"It's a great feeling and hopefully we can go through. Will I start against Slovakia? That's the gaffer's decision. I'll just perform to the best I can in every game."
