Bale's wonderful celebration
Great scenes at FT as Gareth Bale celebrated with his daughter.
More on Ashley Williams
I thought he was struggling because he couldn't move his arm, I was going to take him off, he said he was okay so I trust my captain and we were right to keep him on, he made some important tackles and his presence is huge. I'm delighted for him because it's not always been sunshine but he's been there.
Who would you prefer to play against
We know Belgium very well after the previous campaigns. They're a top team, quality throughout and very dangerous. Hungary have really added to the tournament, fantastic great value, play with a lot of spirit. They pose different problems for us. I can't say I'd prefer one, it's a quarter-final and it doesn't matter who you play.
How will you celebrate?
Our families are here and will be with us tonight and tomorrow. We need to be away from each other for 24 hours! We've been together for five weeks. The thing that keeps it all knitted together is those not playing because they keep going. We'll be in same hotel tonight, have a bite to eat, then have a few hours to themselves and then back to Dinard and prepare for next one.
Ashley Williams update
He's tender with shoulder, the next 24-48 hours will be key whether it's bruising or - hopefully not - there's damage to ligaments or tear in muscle.
'I was nervous'
I thought it would be difficult but they were tougher than expected. If I'm honest we would have been better if we played Turkey because it's different when you play a home nation. I was nervous coming into this. But we tried to work on not getting too emotional, we tried to focus on getting a result and we got that today, we got what we needed on the back of not playing as well as we can.
'Lady luck shone on us'
Bale is a special player. For us he's special not just for talent, but what he represents when we plays for Wales, it's infectious, that mentality and attitude. He appreciates what he has around him in teammates and they appreciate his talent. In terms of how far we can go, I've already said we won't look past the next challenge. This is brilliant, lady luck shone on us, but we earned it. Hungary and Belgium pose different problems but we'll worry about that tomorrow. We must enjoy this.
'We dug in'
We needed it today. We played so well against Russia which was a complete performance but there was so much riding on it, it was going to take a bit of luck and we had some. It was unfortunate for Gareth McAuley but the luck came our way. We had to earn it, we could have lost our way because our performance wasn't the same as the last and we could have lost discipline. We defended well, did our jobs and it gave us time and you know with Bale or Ramey on the pitch a little bit of brilliance and it can change your life in a second. We needed our spirit, when you're not playing well but you dig in. That's a strength. Not giving up when you have nothing left to give, finding something and we had to do that.
Coleman: It was ugly
We didn't play well at all, but that wasn't our fault, it was credit to Northern Ireland who did what they do very well and make it difficult for opponents. I'm not taking anything way from our boys. It was an ugly win but who cares. We've sat here before and played well and not got a result. It's a good sign because we've had to win in different ways. You have to feel for Michael O'Neill who's done a fantastic job.
It won't make it any easy, for them , they'll be disappointed, but they've done brilliantly. I wasn't looking forward to it because I knew it was going to be tough. We didn't play as well as we could but that's credit to Northern Ireland.
Doesn't look good for Williams though?!
More from O'Neill
We knew we couldn't allow ourselves to be counter attacked and we did that. We played with three at the back and Jonny Evans did a good job on Bale and Corey Evans did a good job on Ramsey, we knew if we could keep those two quiet we would give ourselves a chance. We looked comfortable.
If you stop Bale you'll go a long way to stopping Wales. I wish Chris well, I regard him as a friend and a very good manager, I think they can go far. The difficulty against teams like us they'll not allow them to counter and they'd rather play a Belgium or HUngary than ourselves because we were fantastic tactically. We were aggressive in how we pressed at the right times, the shape of the team was very good and it gave us a platform to win the game.
Michael O'Neill unhappy with Wales time wasting
I was disappointed towards the end with time wasting and the referee could have handled it better, but I couldn't have asked any more from the players.
The dug-out told him to sit down on the pitch, the referee stopped the game but the referee didn't ask him to leave. It's the first time I've seen that happen. The referee's assistant was well aware of it and communicated it from the referee. It was disappointing to see. It should have been more than four minutes injury time to possible try and force an equaliser.
Relive that magic win...
UEFA's report
We'll have all the reaction from Chris Coleman and co. so don't go anywhere.
Wonderful scenes

Coleman praises NI
The BBC pull Coleman in for a touchline interview.
He was full of praise of Northern Ireland, who he thought were the better team.
Have to agree with him on that one.
Steven Davis is crestfallen in his interview.
Post-match huddle time...
Big celebrations.
Ashley William addresses his time with his right arm flailing but his left arm still stuck to his side.
Surreal. Fantastic.
PeeeepKEY EVENT
WALES THROUGH TO THE QUARTER FINALS
No surprises as Bale rises to thump a clearing header from the corner.
All over.
That wasn't a vintage performance but they're through.
Ni Corner...
Deep breaths.
NI free-kick
So silly from Ramsey.
NI were heading towards their own goal!
Last chance...
Four minutes added on...
Wales in a great position as Robson-Kanu wins another free-kick.
Northern Ireland look cooked here...
Bale wins a free-kick...
Northern Ireland are offering nothing at the moment and that Williams collision has taken all the rhythm out of the game.
Bizarre...
Ashley Williams has left arm stuck to his side, and has to sit down.
James Collins is ready to come on but Williams is screaming at the bench that he's fine.
Surely Coleman has to intervene....
Josh Magennis coming on...
Both players back on their feet.
Let's hope they can continue.
Former Cardiff goalie Josh Magennis is coming on for Gareth McAuley.
Williams looks in total agony but he's playing on.
Oh! That's awful
Ashley Williams goes all in for a 50-50 and he's wiped out Jonny Williams in the process.
That's an absolutely horrendous collision.
NI change
Michael O'Neill responds by throwing on Niall McGinn.
Oliver Norwood off.
That should open up a lot of space from Ramsey and Bale.
Bale magic
For the first time in the game he gets space in the final third.
Ramsey slides him in to the byline and the cross is stunning.
Robson-Kanu is loitering so McAuley has to intervene; but he can only put it in his own net.
1-0 Wales! McAuley own goal
Stunning cross from Bale.
Chester again!
An excellent ball over the top from Norwood releases Lafferty.
He bears down on goal but the strength and composure from Chester is outstanding.
How Cardiff reacted to Bale's free-kick
Probably the most excited the Cardiff famzone has been so far today
