Bale too hot for Iceland

GARETH Bale turned on the style to run Iceland ragged and set up a convincing 3-1 friendly win for Wales. The Real Madrid star created goals for James collins and Sam Vokes and then scored a magnificent third himself as Wales eased to victory at the Cardiff city Stadium.

Iceland got back into the game at 1-1 as a Johann Gudmundsson shot was deflected in off Ashley Williams, but Bale (above), the world's most expensive player, proved too much for them to handle.

His devastating performance will give manager Chris Coleman confidence - with Aaron Ramsey to return from injury - that Wales can challenge for a place at Euro 2016.
