Players react to Wales defeat

In the wake of Northern Ireland's defeat to Wales, UTV sport spoke to players to get their reaction.

Gareth McAuley said it was "a cruel way" to exit the tournament, but said the team had enjoyed their time in France.

Fellow centre half Jonny Evans reserved special praise for the supporters who "have probably done the country proud more than anyone".

Aaron Hughes said the Welsh got "the rub of the green" with the own-goal, which was all that separated the sides.

Stuart Dallas and Oliver Norwood said the team was confident going into the match and were bitterly disappointed not to progress, after a strong performance.

Niall McGinn believed his team had deserved to win.

Jamie Ward said the team would reflect on their performances at the Euros, before regrouping ahead of the start of World Cup qualification in the autumn.
