Reading striker Simon Church scored a vital goal for Wales' under 21s last night as they aim to become the first Welsh team to reach a major finals since 1958.

Church came off the bench in Sarajevo to equalise against Bosnia-Herzegovina inside the last four minutes, then Man City's Ched Evans stole victory with a last-gasp winner.

Church is currently on loan at League One side Yeovil, having also spent much of the season at Crewe.
