Published on: 24 February 2024

Super Eagles duo of Calvin Bassey and Alexander Iwobi made sure Fulham scooped all three points at Old Trafford in the round 26 encounter of the English Premier League (EPL), Nigeriasoccernet.com writes.

Both fresh from the just concluded 2023 AFCON competition where Super Eagles of Nigeria lost to the host Cote d'Ivoire in the final started the encounter and it was Bassey that drew the first blood in the 65th minute to give Marco Silva's men the lead in front of the home fans.

England international Harry Maguire gave Ten Haag's United the equalizer in the 89th minute to send the crowd agog but little did they know that Fulham still has a goal in them.

Substitute Traore created a brilliant chance that was finished off by Alex Iwobi in the 97th minute to bring the encounter to a close and also couping a deserved three points for Fulham.
