Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is relieved to be leaving Russia with an away goal and fully-fit squad after a tough Europa League clash on Rostov's quagmire pitch.
The last-16 first leg in southern Russia proved a predictably difficult assignment, but United coped manfully on the sandy, rock-solid playing surface that infuriated the Portuguese in the build-up.
UEFA deemed the surface playable and, fortunately for European football's governing body and Mourinho, United make the 1,875-mile journey home unscathed.
They would have also gone back with a first-leg win was it not for Aleksandr Bukharov making it 1-1, although Henrikh Mkhitaryan's away goal could prove crucial in next week's return leg at Old Trafford.
