Wales Baled out as Craig Levein counts cost of lost lead
The Scots needed a win in Cardiff to have a realistic chance of prolonging their unlikely bid to qualify for the 2014 World Cup. And they would surely have got it if a 75th-minute goal from Steven Fletcher hadn’t been wrongly disallowed with the Scots already leading through a James Morrison first-half goal.
But things took a further turn for the worse when Wales were awarded a soft penalty after Gareth Bale appeared to clip his own heels under a challenge from Shaun Maloney. The Tottenham winger scored the spot-kick and then sealed the win with a sensational strike two minutes from the end.
