Shkodran Mustafi winner sees Valencia overcome Granada

Shkodran Mustafi's header saw Valencia get back to winning ways 1-0 in a hard-fought Primera Division clash with Granada.

Defeats to Zenit St Petersburg and Espanyol either side of a goalless home draw with Real Betis left manager Nuno calling for his team to get back on track.

It was not always the most convincing of responses from Los Che, but Mustafi's first-half goal secured victory against Granada much to the relief of the Mestalla faithful.

Sofiane Feghouli was denied in a one-on-one as Valencia upped the ante and, while Fran Rico's overhead strike off the bar was a warning shot, one which would not have counted due to a foul, three points would go to the hosts.
