Aaron Ramsey defended Wales teammate Danny Ward after the Wales goalkeeper made an error which cost his side a goal in the 2-2 draw in Czech Republic.

Aaron Ramsey has leapt to the defence of Wales teammate Danny Ward after the Dragons earned a 2-2 draw against Czech Republic in Friday's World Cup qualifier.

Wales went 2-1 behind as Ward failed to control a back-pass and allowed the ball to go into his own net, but Daniel James scored a second-half equaliser to earn a deserved share of the spoils.

Ramsey, who netted Wales' first strike of the night, heaped praise on goalkeeper Ward while also insisting that his nation had secured a "great" result in in Group E.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Ramsey said: "We played exactly how we wanted to, we were brave on the ball, and we looked to create on the counter attack. On another day we could have had a couple more, but fair play to go 2-1 down in front of this hostile crowd it's a great result.

"Danny has been terrific for us, these things happen from time to time but I'm sure there is nothing to be worried about, we're glad he's in goal for us.

"Brilliant to see the fans, I haven't played for a while but I'm delighted to be back scoring goals in front of them, hopefully we will see them in the coming months."

While the two teams are locked on seven points, Wales have played a game fewer than their rivals.
