Burger and chips helped me get over England loss - Bale

The 26-year-old has revealed junk food provided the perfect cure for his woes following Wales' heartbreaking last-gasp defeat against the Three Lions at Euro 2016

Gareth Bale has revealed he ate junk food to make himself feel better after Wales fell to a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat against England at Euro 2016.

Bale's free-kick - his second set-piece goal of the tournament - gave Wales the lead, but substitutes Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge hit back for Roy Hodgson's men.

Sturridge's last-gasp winner was a blow to Wales' hopes of qualifying for the last 16 and Bale said the team went out for a meal to get over the loss.
