England hopeful Bobby Zamora scored a screamer to give Fulham the advantage in the first leg of their Europa League last 32 tie against Shakhtar Donetsk.
Zamora, who has been tipped to win a place in Fabio Capello's World Cup squad, hammered home a glorious shot from 25 yards to earn Fulham victory.
The Cottagers had gone ahead early on when Zoltan Gera's low shot crept in.
Shakhtar dominated for long spells and Luiz Adriano's cool finish levelled it, before Zamora's moment of inspiration.
Fulham can perhaps count themselves fortunate to take a lead to Ukraine for the second leg on Thursday 25 February, but despite being outplayed at times they hung on and dug in with a spirited performance.
