United settle for draw as Donetsk hit back
Shakhtar Donetsk 1 Manchester United 1
David Moyes was denied a morale-boosting Champions League win in Donetsk tonight - but still left the Donbass Arena as the first manager of an English team to nick a point from a trip to Shakhtar in this competition.
Moyes can do with all the little snippets of posivitity he can lay his hands on just now.
With Arsenal (twice), Tottenham and, last season, Chelsea all beaten here, Moyes can look back with some satisfaction on a result which consolidates a decent start to Group A.
Yet the Scot may also lament the fact his side got within 15 minutes of what would have been an impressive victory.
Scorer of United's last away goal in the competition, against Real Madrid, Welbeck was on the mark again, steering home after Yaroslav Rakitskiy had made a hash of clearing Marouane Fellaini's low cross.
It was Welbeck's third goal of the campaign, one more than he managed in the whole of last season, and for a good while afterwards seemed set to prove the difference.
But Shakhtar continued to press and when Taison thrashed home an impressive effort, United needed all their battling qualities to gain the draw their industry deserved.
