Well what a pulsating game to write about that was - five goals, a last-gasp winner and three penalties. Were you not entertained? Wales' performance did nothing for the nerves, but they got the job done in a game Robert Page had billed as must win.

They could easily have been 4-1 down at half-time but, when they were in trouble, Gareth Bale, that absolute generational talent, came to the rescue with a brilliantly timed hat-trick, his first for Wales in a competitive game.

Wales can now look forward to Wednesday's home game against Estonia as they ready themselves for the 4,000km flight home.

Thanks for joining us and we very much look forward to your company on Wednesday evening as we do it all again.

Only one way to say goodbye, I hope you'll agree.

Three final words.

Viva Gareth Bale.

I think Rob Page will make three or four changes for Estonia, most likely at centre-back and I'm not sure what he'll do up front.

Wales manager Robert Page told Sky Sports: “Pleased obviously because we got the points. I said to the players, good teams, even when they are not playing well, find a way to win, and that’s exactly what we have done today.

“We got the best possible start. They changed their mentality slightly. We started doing things we hadn’t worked on and going off the game-plan, which we addressed at half-time.

“But the remit was to come out here and put in a performance that gets us three points and we have done it.

“The standards we have set as a group, we fell well short. But we found a way to win. The big players stepped up and Gareth [Bale] certainly comes into that category. He led by example today.

“We are disappointed with the goals [conceded]. We spoke about that. We lost our discipline a bit with regards to our shape.

“Second half we were on the front foot. I thought the two substitutions came on and certainly made a difference for us.”

Wales captain Gareth Bale told Sky Sports: "It was a massive win. Every game counts and these kinds of games when you are expected to win are probably the hardest.

"Everything was against us, it wasn't a good first half whatsoever, but I thought in the second half we really changed that and got on the front foot.

"I thought Mark Harris had a big impact on the game and it was like Andorra in the first qualifier for Euro 2016, getting that goal will hopefully keep our momentum going and hopefully we can keep that into the next game.

"Qualification is alive, we lost to a very good Belgium team but it is important we win every other game. I know the performance and we all know the performance wasn't good enough in the first half, we corrected it more in the second half, we bounced back and showed character to get the result.

"In the back of my mind I was thinking about the missed penalty in the Euros, but it was great to score two tonight, because they were important goals.

"The winner, it was a last-gasp effort, I tried to hook it in and I was ecstatic as I knew it was right into the last few seconds.

"Everything hasn't gone for us in terms of the travel or the pitch, but it is what it is, thankfully we have got the three points and we can get out of here."

It's a sign of a world class player, once you get one you get a couple more and he's got the monkey off his back. I wouldn't be surprised if Gareth Bale goes on a run now. He's the one we were looking to.

I think we've just got to keep winning games and hopefully the others slip up. Maybe you want a draw with Czech Republic and Belgium tonight.

We've just got to keep focused winning our games, now we've got three points after playing badly against a poor side.

A lot of my colleagues are going to be furiously rewriting!

What a fantastic finish to a five-goal thriller.

Gareth Bale eh? Some people had retired him a month ago!

We will bring you all the reaction as we get it.

Stick with us.

Gareth Bale is the hero for Wales. His first competitive hat-trick for his country earns Wales three priceless points.

The winner came deep in injury time.

You've got to love football.

Proper scenes of the Belarus players all falling to their knees with the winning goal.

Oh the drama.

A decent cross from Gareth Bale, but Belarus defend it well.

Time is running out for Wales.

Gareth Bale sees a shot blocked.

We will have four added minutes.

Maksim Skavysh on for Vitali Lisakovich.

Wales won't mind that.

When you go 2-1 behind it's a point gained but in the first 30 minutes I thought Belarus were poor and you'd be kicking yourself if you didn't win. I think it's two points dropped if we draw.

More poor defending from Wales and Vitali Lisakovich is found by Danila Klimovich, but Danny Ward stands up to his shot and tips it over.

A big save.

Still time for a winner.
