Europa League: 3-1 home defeat to Rangers good result for Fenerbahce – Mourinho

Fenerbahce manager, Jose Mourinho has surprisingly insisted that his side’s 3-1 home defeat to Rangers on the UEFA Europa League on Thursday night was a good result for his team.

Cyriel Dessers gave Rangers the lead after just six minutes before Alexander Djiku equalized for the hosts.

Vaclav Cerny then scored a brace to secure a famous victory for the Scottish club.

“Everything,” Mourinho told TNT Sports when asked where his team got it wrong against the visitors.

“The result is good for us. I know that [Rangers goalkeeper Jack] Butland had two or three fantastic saves but I would say that the result is closer to being bigger than smaller, so for us it’s a good result,” he said.

Fenerbahce will now hope to turn the tie around when they face Rangers in the return leg next week.
