Chris Coleman said he is determined to keep the pressure on group leaders Serbia in the race for World Cup qualification after their late show in Moldova.

Serbia's 1-0 win against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin means they need three points from their final two games to qualify for next summer's finals in Russia.

But Coleman insists Wales have not given up on top spot after their 2-0 win in Moldova moved them above the Republic into second place.

Serbia's first chance to tie up top spot next month comes in Austria before they entertain Georgia three days later.

Wales head to Georgia for their penultimate clash before their final qualifier at home to the Republic.

That Cardiff clash could decide second spot and qualification for the November play-offs, although the runner-up with the worst record from the nine groups will miss out.
