Two late goals by Iran in stoppage time have left Wales' World Cup hopes hanging by a thread following a 2-0 defeat
Rob Page's team were rattled at times during the match, with Iran continuously issuing reminders of the danger they posed.
Wales rarely tested the Iranian defence, and appeared to be relying on another moment of magic from captain Gareth Bale. The introduction of Daniel James and Brennan Johnson gave Wales more attacking potency, but Iran still looked a threat at the other end and after Hennessey's sending off, they capitalised on their one-man advantage.'We want England to win!' says Welsh fans after suffering heartbreak in QatarWales captain Gareth Bale told the BBC:"It's gutting, we're gutted. There's no other way to say it.
Page said:"Our performance before the red card was not acceptable. We hoped it would all come together today, but we were nowhere near the levels we've set and the standards we've set in recent games."I always take responsibility, that's my team, the sending off didn't help of course but at that point we had five forwards on the pitch so couldn't get a defensive shape.
