For the second time in this qualifying campaign, a fine Aleksandar Mitrovic goal for Serbia prevented Wales from securing a vital win.

Aleksandar Mitrovic again denied Wales victory as Chris Coleman's men were held to a fifth consecutive draw in World Cup qualifying after their match in Serbia on Sunday ended 1-1.

Wales have not reached a World Cup since 1958 and they remain four points behind their opponents at the Group D summit after goals from Aaron Ramsey and Mitrovic.

Although Wales' winless run goes on without suspended star man Gareth Bale, they will surely ruefully reflect on the opportunities passed up in four consecutive draws prior to visiting Belgrade - rather than a hard-fought point here - if they fail to close the gap to Serbia.
