Super Eagles duo Bassey, Iwobi down Man Utd in 2-1 win


Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi both found the back of the net as Fulham secured a 2-1 victory over Manchester United on Saturday. 

The Nigerian pair showcased their scoring prowess in the second half, propelling the Cottagers to a remarkable win at Old Trafford. 

The first half remained goalless, setting the stage for an intense second half. Bassey broke the deadlock with a well-taken goal from a corner kick, capitalizing on a moment of defensive vulnerability to beat Andre Onana. 

Shortly after, Harry Maguire equalized for Manchester United, exploiting a defensive lapse to level the score at 1-1. However, it was Iwobi who emerged as the hero for Fulham, netting a late winner that dealt a blow to United's aspirations of securing a top-four finish. 

This thrilling encounter showcased the talent and determination of both teams, with Fulham emerging victorious in a hard-fought battle.
