[LNB]Despite the scoreline, Dnipro proved stern opposition and were somewhat unfortunate not to grab a potentially all-important away goal. [LNB]Jol admitted he was relieved that Fulham withstood the barrage of attacks from the Ukrainian side and professed himself happy ahead of next week's Europa League second leg. [LNB]"I felt if they would have scored and made it 3-1 it would have still been a difficult scoreline," he said. [LNB]"Even at 2-0 at half-time we said don't let them score because if they score it is probably a bad result at 2-1. [LNB]Related Articles
