Euro 2020: Wales goalkeeper Danny Ward on a Father's Day he will never forget

Sunday was a Father's Day which will live with Danny Ward forever.

The goalkeeper played superbly as Wales qualified for the Euro 2020 knockout stages despite losing 1-0 to Italy in Rome, making several saves to ensure his side scraped through on goal difference.

While he was celebrating Wales' progress with his team-mates in the changing room, it suddenly occurred to Ward that it was Father's Day.

So the 27-year-old returned to the Stadio Olimpico pitch, sat by one of the goals, leant on a post and made a video call to his 20-month-old son, Albie.
