Aaron Ramsey and Connor Roberts scored to send Wales top of Group A on four points before Italy host Switzerland later on. “The victory puts us in a great position,” Bale told the BBC.
“If you’d have offered us four points at the start we would’ve bitten your hand off,” he added. A hostile crowd whistled every touch from Bale and his teammate with the locals supporting the Crescent Stars due to historical links between Turkey and Azerbaijan.
“The fans were fantastic, I know most of them were Turkish but the Wales fans were incredible. We want to thanks the fans at home too,” Bale said.
Real Madrid forward Bale missed a second-half spot-kick before Roberts’ injury-time effort. “We fought hard, we worked our socks off like we always do,” Bale said.
“I missed the pen but I showed good character and feel I helped the team keep going.”
