Mepham involved in dramatic Wales win

Chris Mepham played 90 minutes as Wales won 3-2 away to Belarus yesterday afternoon. 

A Gareth Bale hat-trick, including a last-minute winner, ensured that Robert Page's side left Kazan with all three points. 

As a result, Wales moved up to third in Group E, keeping their World Cup dreams alive. 

They sit seven points behind Belgium in top spot, but just one behind the Czech Republic in second, with two games in hand over both sides. 

Their next action comes on Wednesday, with a home fixture against Estonia as they look to climb Group E and head into October's break in a strong position.
