Fulham secured a remarkable 2-1 victory against Manchester United in the 26th round of the Premier League. Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi, both Nigerians who recently played in the Africa Cup of Nations final, found the back of the net for their triumphant team. Fulham’s head coach, Marco Silva, praised the return of his players and their seamless reintegration into the club. « Scoring his first goal is always an important milestone for Bassey, but it doesn’t stop there… Both Bassey and Iwobi were missed during the Africa Cup of Nations. Their goals today show just how vital they are to our style of play. It’s truly gratifying to see them scoring and helping us secure victory, » stated the manager.
Midfielder Alex Iwobi also expressed his joy at scoring the winning goal for Fulham in the closing moments of the match. « I’m over the moon right now. Winning at Old Trafford in the last minute is insane, there’s no better feeling. We feel like we’ve been playing really well, performing at a high level recently, and today is a step in the right direction. I hope we can build on this, » confessed the Man of the Match.
