Bale wants comeback to be a launchpad for more Welsh Euro glory

- James Cairns

Gareth Bale has called on Wales to use their battling comeback against the Swiss as a springboard for more Euros' success.

Euro 2016 semi-finalists Wales were second best for much of the 1-1 draw in the Baku sunshine, with Switzerland enjoying 64 per cent possession and having double the number of efforts on goal – 18 to nine.

But Kieffer Moore’s excellent 74th-minute header canceled out Breel Embolo’s effort just after half-time to earn Rob Page’s side a point in their Group A opener.

Wales skipper Bale praised his teammates’ battling spirit.

The Real Madrid star said: “You go one-nil down and you can really crumble.

“We showed our class to keep playing and fight for the goal back. It was a good equaliser.
