Wales v Cyprus: How Chris Coleman's side rated

Wales maintained their unbeaten record to to remain top of their Euro 2016 qualifying group with a precious 2-1 victory over Cyprus in Cardiff.

Chris Coleman's side appeared to be coasting as goals from David Cotterill and Hal Robson-Kanu - the latter a stylish team effort - gave them an early 2-0 lead.

But a goal from Vincent Laban and a red card for Wales midfielder Andy King set up a nervous second half.

Which players impressed and who had an evening to forget? Marks are out of 10.

WAYNE HENNESSEY (GOALKEEPER) 5

Had little to do but made a hash of the Cyprus goal. A stark contrast to his man-of-the-match display against Bosnia-Hercegovina.

CHRIS GUNTER (RIGHT-BACK) 7

An energetic effort which did not wane even as Wales went down to 10 men. Distribution could have been better but defending was solid.

ASHLEY WILLIAMS (CENTRE-BACK) 8

Marshalled the defence in a mature display, ensuring the team approached the game in a calm fashion after being reduced to 10 men.

JAMES CHESTER (CENTRE-BACK) 8

Another fine performance from the Hull defender, who made a number of timely interventions and brave challenges.

NEIL TAYLOR (LEFT-BACK) 7

Composed defensively and a willing support runner in attack, the Swansea City left-back contributed to an industrious team performance.

JOE LEDLEY (CENTRAL MIDFIELD) 6

An early yellow card curbed his usual tenacity and forcing him to tread tentatively compared to his forceful display against Bosnia.

ANDY KING (CENTRAL MIDFIELD) 4

A promising first-half performance with some neat touches was spoiled by his red card, which made life very difficult for his team-mates.

HAL ROBSON-KANU (RIGHT MIDFIELD) 8

Excelled in a couple of positions, whether that was out wide or as a central attacker, and took his goal smartly.

GARETH BALE (ATTACKING MIDFIELD) 7

Subjected to brutal treatment from Cyprus but battled on regardless and went close with a couple of efforts.

GEORGE WILLIAMS (LEFT MIDFIELD) 7

A bright first start from the young winger, running at Cypriot defenders at every opportunity. His positivity led to the corner which produced the first goal.

SIMON CHURCH (STRIKER) 6

Had no time to make an impact after he was taken off inside two minutes with a shoulder injury.

DAVID COTTERILL (for Church, 6 minutes) 7

Scored the opening goal and kept the ball well when Wales were looking to hold on to their lead in the second half.

DAVID EDWARDS (for Williams, 58 minutes ) 7

Brought on to solidify the midfield following King's red card and did so with a combative but composed performance.

JAKE TAYLOR (for Robson Kanu, 85 minutes ) 6

Ran out of time to make any telling contributions on his debut.
