Watch: Neil Taylor completes great counter attack to make it 2-0 Wales

There may be nothing better in soccer then a good team goal. You know the ones that start from good defending work their way all the way through the midfield and then that killer final ball gets played to the striker left back for the finish?

Wait the left back? Yes, left back Neil Taylor was on the receiving end of a final ball on a terrific Wales counter attack. Aaron Ramsey got things started with a great breakout pass in the midfield and with all of Russia focusing on the middle, no one saw Neil Taylor sneak in on the left side, getting behind the defense, and after shooting right at the keeper, putting his own rebound into the net to double Wales’ lead.
