Have a look at what the Wales boss Chris Coleman had to say: “It’s fine margins. We hit the post and they go up the other end.
“We looked after their strengths very well. Apart from one save in Wayne in the first half I cannot recall another save.
“We’re disappointed, we lacked an edge against Georgia but that was back tonight. I was delighted with the players and think they did enough to get the points.
“Serbia played the way we usually play, and for large parts we stopped that. We did really well. Over the balance of play, we hit the post, 2-0 it’s all over.
“They showed what they think of us by taking a striker off.
“Ireland are the team at the top and setting the standard, where we have missed a trick is two points dropped against Georgia. A point against Serbia and we would be on track.
“We didn’t let ourselves down tonight, they were fantastic. We can’t have our own way against teams like Serbia
“The players are absolutely devastated but there is still a long way to go.”
