Wayne Hennessey put in a commendable performance in the Welsh goal

In a tournament where goalkeepers have excelled, Wayne Hennessey kept that trend going. He was brilliant for Wales in between the sticks, making three saves and dealing with the barrage of Northern Ireland set-pieces with some crucial catches.

The Crystal Palace custodian – who has been criticised for his decision-making in the past – put all his doubters to rest in Paris with a rock-solid performance to help Chris Coleman’s side become the second team to make it to the last 8 of the tournament.
