Gareth Bale becomes Wales' all-time record goalscorer

Gareth Bale Thursday has become Wales' all-time record goalscorer with 29 international goals, breaking Ian Rush's record.

Bale's hat-trick against China, in Ryan Giggs' first game in charge, was his 27th, 28th and record-breaking 29th international goals, reports BBC.

It has taken Bale 69 appearances to break Rush's record, which the former Liverpool striker reached in 66 games.

It was also the first Welsh hat-trick since Robert Earnshaw scored three times against Scotland in 2004.
