Moses relishes Fenerbahce’s win over Zenit, shifts focus to Konyaspor clash
Nigerian winger, Victor Moses has expressed his excitement over his sides’ victory at the Europa League on Tuesday night, as they won 1-0 against Zenit Petersburg.
The game was played two days early for security reasons to avoid Fenerbahce fans clashing with Istanbul rivals Galatasaray hosting Portugal’s Benfica on Thursday.
It was Moses’ first start with Fenerbahce since joining the Turkish side in a loan deal from Chelsea last month, and he was involved in the only goal of the game.
