Allen told the Western Mail “To start for the first time at the Liberty Stadium, and to win as well, made it a fantastic night for me,โ€ said Allen.

โ€œIt does not get that much better. It was a thrill.

โ€œIโ€™ve missed out on a few squads in the past and it is about making up for lost time.

โ€œYouโ€™ve always got to be disappointed when you donโ€™t play or you donโ€™t start the game. Iโ€™ve always been the same.

โ€œTo be an international regular has always been my aim but itโ€™s a massive task, both for Wales and at club level.

โ€œBut itโ€™s a target Iโ€™m striving to achieve. We have a lot of very good players in the Welsh squad, so itโ€™s a case of always working hard and enjoying what I am doing.

โ€œItโ€™s early days for me because it was only my fourth cap and my first start.

โ€œNothing changes from my point of view. I enjoy coming away and I will work hard every day in training and see what happens from there.โ€
