    Wales forward Gareth Bale, speaking to Sky Sports: "It was a top-of-the-table clash, so to come out on top is amazing. We'd like to dedicate this to Dai Williams, the kit man who passed away.

    "The first half was very hard, we did a lot of running, but we showed in the second half what a good team we area.

    "We've put ourselves in a great position, but there's a lot of work to do yet, and all we can do is keep fighting and keep working hard."

    Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey, speaking to Sky Sports: "We're where we want to be. We've had a terrific start to the campaign, and we hope we can continue that. We have a tough game against Belgium, but we're really looking forward to playing them in June."

    We have some Wales player reaction coming up. Fair to say they are quite happy.

  4. Bale gets 'no special treatment'published at 19:03 Greenwich Mean Time 28 March 2015

    Talking about Gareth Bale, do you know that he gets no special treatment while on international duty.

    This is what Wales manager Chris Coleman told BBC School Report recently:

    "If you start giving one player special treatment, than you lose the other 10," said Coleman.

    "We recognise he's a special player but, as they say, no man is an island."

    He might get extra potatoes for dinner tonight after those two goals.

    Hiro: Wales really do look rather good. Excellent midfield. Solid keeper. More than serviceable defence. And Gareth Bale.

    Tom Venn: Wales are truly amazing. Bale is on his best form right now!

    Aneurin Pryse: The only Madrid player better than Bale is Ronaldo...what are their fans thinking of!

    The possible England Under-21 line-up

    Should England take their best possible side to this summer's European Under-21 Championships? Or should those players who have broken into the senior squad - such as Harry Kane and Ross Barkley - be rested after a long domestic season? And is the side we've picked above the one you would play?

    Jason Mohammad and former England winger Chris Waddle will be discussing this on BBC Radio 5 live's 606 from 19:00 GMT - and they want you to get involved.

  7. Small country, big ambitionpublished at 18:56 Greenwich Mean Time 28 March 2015

    There are only two countries with a smaller population than Wales (3.064m) have ever qualified for the European Championship -Slovenia (2.065m in 2000) and Latvia (1.98m in 2004).

    "Wales' performance was disciplined, it was professional and I'd almost say it was faultless. They won 3-0, but it could have been five or six.

    "Chris Coleman won't be silly enough to say to the players that we are there. They have to face Belgium, still have to go to Cyprus and Andorra. Wales are in an even better position than we were in 2004, when we won our first four games under Mark Hughes."

    What a victory! That is now three wins in five for Wales in this campaign. Next up is Belgium in June.

    Wales fans, you must be booking your flights to France as I type?

    Wales have never gone unbeaten in the first five qualifiers of a campaign.

  12. INJURY TIMEpublished at 18:48 Greenwich Mean Time 28 March 2015

    We are into two minutes of stoppage time. Do Wales want this match to end?

  13. Rehab success story Vokespublished at 18:47 Greenwich Mean Time 28 March 2015

    Wales substitute Sam Vokes has faced a fitness challenge to recover from a serious knee injury.

    The Burnley striker gave his top tips for rehab in this video for Sport Wales TV a few months ago.

    Half a chance there for Sam Vokes as Wales look to end the match on a high. The Burnley man is played in on the left, but he fires his shot into the side-netting. Snatched at that a little.

    John Pierce: What are Wales playing at? They are giving us genuine hope they'll qualify. Madness.

    Jeremy Levene: Wales doing really well here. In Williams, Allen, Ramsey and Bale, they have the makings of a good team - but need them all fit.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 18:45 Greenwich Mean Time 28 March 2015

    Shaun McDonald comes on for Aaron Ramsey. How serious is the injury that the Arsenal man appeared to suffer?

    "Wales are running amok against an Israel team who are all over the place. Gareth Bale is so sharp. The keeper had no chance. This is as comfortable as you like.

    "I can't believe Israel went into this game without a plan for Bale. Unless Israel's manager has a big ego or is incredibly naive, it makes no sense. It's been like a training game for him. It's been that easy."

    Gareth Pritchard: Doesn't bother me how Gareth Bale plays for Real Madrid when he's playing like this for Wales. Quality player.

    Liam McColgan: Ramsey and Bale tearing Israel apart! Top class players.

    Ben Fides: Superb stuff from Wales. A point would've been a good result today. This is dreamy stuff!

    "Without getting carried away, Wales have been outstanding this evening. Technically, and in terms of formation and discipline, they've been superb. They've made a good Israel team look very, very average. Tal Ben Haim is a big strong unit but he's got no pace, and Wales have taken risks to get at him."

  20. GREAT SAVE!published at 18:43 Greenwich Mean Time 28 March 2015

    At the other end, Israel keeper Ofir Marciano also makes a near-post save after Gareth Bale nutmegs a defender before blasting his effort straight at him.
