Super Eagles stars Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey were in action as Manchester United secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Fulham in Sunday’s Premier League clash at Craven Cottage.
Iwobi, enjoying an impressive season, made his 23rd appearance for Fulham, where he has contributed seven goals and three assists. Meanwhile, Bassey, making his 22nd league appearance, showcased his defensive grit but has now accumulated five yellow cards this campaign.
The decisive moment came in the 78th minute when United’s Lisandro Martinez fired a shot from the edge of the box that deflected off Sasa Lukic, looping over Bernd Leno and into the net despite the goalkeeper’s touch.
With this win, Manchester United extended their unbeaten league run at Craven Cottage, a streak that has remained intact since December 2009.
Fulham will look to regroup as the season continues, while United’s victory bolsters their ambitions for a strong league finish.
