Wales manager Rob Page has come under fire after saying his side's humiliating 4-2 loss at home to Armenia was a necessary 'slap' despite the defeat putting a real dent in their hopes of qualifying for next summer's European Championships.
Page's men were humbled on one of the darkest nights of his reign as goals from Lucas Zelarayan and Grant-Leon Ranos saw them condemned to their first home defeat in a Euros qualifying campaign since 2011, while Kieffer Moore was also shown a red card late on.
The loss means Wales now face what is likely to be a must-win game against Turkey next week if they are to reach a third successive European Championships but they will need to improve greatly from Friday night if they are to get a result, with goals from Daniel James and Harry Wilson the few positives aside from the return of David Brooks.
