Wales are inching their way ever closer to Euro 2016, but missed a glorious chance last night to seal the deal after a 0-0 draw with Israel.

Chris Coleman’s side were left frustrated after they failed to break the deadlock in the game at the Millennium Stadium.

But perhaps they would have grounds to appeal the result to Fifa after an Israel player clearly used supernatural powers to affect a Gareth Bale freekick.

The Real-Madrid man was lining up an attempt in the second half when Tal Ben Haim decided to invoke some kind of modern voodoo on the ball.

Bale fluffed his lines, but what hope had he when forces unseen were conspiring against him.
