Wales manager Chris Coleman delighted to take point vs. Belgium

Captain Ashley Williams hailed Wales' goalless draw in Belgium as one the best performances he has ever been involved with in international football.

Chris Coleman's men claimed a point away from home against the Group B favourites to remain unbeaten in Euro 2016 qualification and Williams was delighted with the draw.

"One of the best performances I've seen at least in my time with Wales as a team," said Williams. "Everyone really stuck to the cause. It wasn't too pretty in the first half but we dug in.

"To come here and get a point and a clean sheet is massive for us. It keeps our momentum in the group, we haven't lost yet.

"We wanted to win the game but we will definitely take a point."

Coleman was also upbeat about taking a point and believes his team have learned a lot from their unsuccessful World Cup qualifying campaign.

"It wasn't pretty at times but who cares? It's about points," he said. "We learned from the last campaign where we played some much better football, we had a lot of chances, we kept getting beat too much. (It was) Too easy when we didn't have the ball, but we're a much tougher outfit now.

"That's two clean sheets in four games. Two clean sheets against the two top teams, Bosnia and Belgium, so we're on the right path, that's for sure."

Coleman went on to say it was a great performance from his entire squad and he was very proud to be a part of the effort and result.

"We're up against an incredible offensive, aggressive team, they don't come much tougher than that. It's been labelled the best Belgium team ever so to come here and take a point it speaks volumes for our players.

"The lads, they showed so much character, courageous at times.

"That attitude and we've had it for some time now where we're always in the game even if the opposition are on top of us. We don't buckle, we don't duck it and we don't hide from the challenge. We stand our ground."
