NEWPORT’S Chris Gunter has warned Wales must remain focused after their stunning 3-0 victory in Israel on Saturday night, writes Andrew Penman.

Chris Coleman's side moved above their hosts to top Euro 2016 qualifying Group B at the halfway point in the campaign.

Gunter, aged 25, says Wales secured a "fantastic victory" in Haifa as they bid to reach a first major finals since the 1958 World Cup but he warned that the job is not finished yet.

"We've got a real chance, but... we haven't done anything yet," said the Reading defender.

Israel started Saturday's game as Group B leaders, having won their first three matches.

But Gareth Bale inspired Wales to their biggest away win since a 5-2 victory in Slovakia in 2007.

Wales are unbeaten in five games in a single qualification campaign for the first time since 1976.

They have won three and drawn two of their five qualifiers so far.

Coleman's side next face group favourites Belgium, who beat Cyprus 5-0 on Saturday, on June 12 at the Cardiff City Stadium, and Gunter is taking nothing for granted.

"We need to be careful,” he told BBC Sport. “It's certainly easy after a fantastic victory when emotion's high to say 'yeah, we are going to do it' but we are still only halfway.

"We have to make sure that in five games time this isn't the pinnacle, but is only a step on the way."

Gunter believes manager Coleman and his staff will help keep the squad grounded going into the clash against the Belgians.

"It's important to enjoy [wins like this]... but to make sure that when we meet back up we'll be focused like we have been," said the former Tottenham Hotspur and Cardiff City defender.

"The good thing is, with the management and staff we have in place, that's exactly how we've been approaching it.

"Hopefully in the next year or so we'll be happy people."
