WALES skipper Ashley Williams admits he’s never been prouder after the Dragons stunned the Red Devils in Brussels.

Belgium’s golden generation are being lauded as potential Euro 16 champions, but the fourth seeded side in world football couldn’t break down a stubborn Welsh rearguard as Chris Coleman’s side deservedly earned an invaluable point.

With Israel beating beleaguered Bosnia, Wales are now in prime position to at the very least force a play-off spot, having picked up eight points from four games and yet to concede a single goal from open play.

Key to that has been the presence of Williams, the Argus star man at the King Baudouin Stadium and his blossoming partnership with Hull City’s James Chester. The duo; alongside full-backs Chris Gunter and Neil Taylor and with Wayne Hennessey behind them, are looking like Wales’ best defensive unit in a generation.

And Williams admits he’s never been more proud to lead his adopted nation.

“I’ve not had a prouder night with Wales, it wasn’t that pretty but I’m so proud of the way the team dug in and did a hard job,” he told the South Wales Argus.

“We had chances to nick it but we came with a plan, we knew we would have to keep it tight and try and hit them on a break but none of the players are disappointed to only draw, to keep a clean sheet against such an attacking force away from home, we are delighted.”

Williams is loving life alongside Chester, the former Manchester United man who scored in last season’s FA Cup Final and also praised star attacking man Gareth Bale for a late clearance that saved a point for Chris Coleman’s side.

“James and I have really come on together as a partnership, I really enjoy playing with him, he continues to show what a good footballer he is. I’ve got a good understanding with him and he’s really calm and collected, I’m enjoying the partnership,” Williams explained.

“We’ve kept clean sheets against Bosnia and now Belgium and haven’t conceded a goal yet in the campaign from open play. As a defender I love clean sheets, so I am over the moon with that.

“We showed our spirit and Gareth Bale clearing off the line sums that up, one play, the fact he was there in the right place at the right time, all night we did that and the two boys in front of us in midfield were superb as well.”

Williams led the way with all 11 Welsh players throwing their shirts to their delirious fans at the final whistle as nearly 50,000 Belgiums made their discontent known.

“Throwing the shirts into the crowd wasn’t pre-planned; I think we all just got a bit excited,” he said.

“We just did it because they were brilliant all night and we wanted to show our appreciation, at least 11 people have a great souvenir.
