In a hard-fought encounter, Scotland had just enough to beat the visitors in what was a sensational display from captain John Barclay's side.

Stuart Hogg and Finn Russell shone as Scotland staged a rousing comeback to beat Wales for the first time in 10 years.

After an early exchange of penalties Wales winger Liam Williams crossed in the corner for an eye-catching opening try as the visitors opened up a 13-9 half-time lead.

Scotland wingers Tommy Seymour and Tim Visser finished tries set up by sublime Hogg passes after the break while Russell kicked 19 points with a perfect seven from seven record with the boot.

Victory was Scotland's first against Wales since 2007 - ending a run of nine successive defeats - as they scored 23 unanswered points to register their second victory in three matches in this year's Championship.

The victory puts Scotland top of the Six Nations table, albeit with England hosting Italy on Sunday.
