Watch: Bale lights up Lens with another absurd free-kick

Don't concede free-kicks against Wales. That's the preeminent lesson from the opening week of Euro 2016.

Slovakia made that mistake in its opening match, and now England has fallen victim as well. The Three Lions could only watch as Gareth Bale scored his second sumptuous strike in as many matches, the Welsh wizard blasting a dipping knuckleball from nearly 40 yards out that Joe Hart could only get a weak hand to.

That's how you back up a week's worth of smack talk.
