Wales manager Chris Coleman has said that his team feel disappointed they didn't beat Georgia, despite some saying they were lucky to draw 1-1.

Wales took the lead during the game in the first ten minute thanks to a towering header from the team's talisman Gareth Bale.

However they couldn't build on their fantastic start to the game and they were eventually pegged back as Georgia got the equaliser through Tornike Okriashvili in the second-half.

In the latter stages of the game Georgia could have won it, forcing a couple of good saves from Wayne Hennessey as well as hitting the bar.

Speaking after the game Coleman said that he feels his team could, and should have won the game, but conceded Georgia came back into the contest in the second-half.

"I think people are looking at it as two points dropped but it might have been two points gained at the end of the day.

"It was the dream start but then we got too comfortable and the whole atmosphere on the pitch was too comfortable. We had to take care of business but we were punished.

"We are disappointed. The two games in four days is tough, not easy, but it is what it is and we have to get on with it. Once we got the goal we had to take care of the job and we didn't do that.

"We could have lost it in the second half."

Wales are now third in the group, behind Serbia and the Republic of Ireland, their next two fixtures in the group.
