England manager Roy Hodgson says it is a long time since he celebrated a goal as much as Daniel Sturridge's winner against Wales at Euro 2016.
Substitute Sturridge poked home in the 91st minute to give England a 2-1 victory in the Group B match in Lens.
Earlier, fellow substitute Jamie Vardy levelled for England after Gareth Bale's 30-yard free-kick for Wales.
"It's a long time since myself and the coaching staff have showed such joy," Hodgson told BBC Radio 5 live.
"When the chances don't go in and you've compounded your task by conceding that Gareth Bale goal, it really is a happy moment when both the substitutes score.
"I thought it was on the cards all the way through the second half."
England conceded a stoppage-time equaliser in their 1-1 draw with Russia in their opening game on Saturday.
Hodgson added: "I have great empathy with Chris [Coleman] and the Welsh team because he must have been looking at a good draw. He will be today as I was on Saturday night."
England, who had almost 70% of possession and had 20 shots to Wales' eight, moved top of Group B, a point above Thursday's opponents and Slovakia.
Hodgson's side face Slovakia in the final round of group games in Saint-Etienne at 20:00 BST on Monday, when Wales play Russia.
England, now top of Group B, need a point against Slovakia on Monday to earn automatic qualification into the last 16, while Wales must win against Russia to guarantee a top-two finish.
However, a point will be enough to send Wales through if Slovakia do not beat England.
