Valencia coach Nuno: We played our best football of the season

Nuno says his side's first-half display in its 2-1 Champions League win against Gent was its best of the season.

Valencia coach Nuno believes his side played its best football of the season in a 2-1 Champions League Group H victory over Gent on Tuesday.

Sofiane Feghouli gave the host the lead as it dominated the early stages at the Mestalla, but a string of Matz Sels saves and a Thomas Foket rocket saw the sides go in 1-1 at the break.

Valencia got lucky in the end as a Stefan Mitrovic own goal in the 72nd minute handed it the three points, having struggled to really test its Belgian opponent during the second period.
