Nigeria’s Bassy and Iwobi’s goals fired Fulham to victory in the EPL match on Saturday evening at Old Trafford.
Fulham was in control of the game from the start, sending out passes, but couldn’t make much of it. Manchester United also had a fair number of chances missed as the two teams kept mounting pressure on their defence.
Fulham Strikes First
Fulham had the breakthrough when Castagne sent his corner into the near post, but this time, it’s Bassey who makes the run to meet it. He scuffs at the volley, but on his second attempt, he makes no mistake as he rifles it into the roof of the net. 1-0 Fulham.
Maguire Equalized, He started things off, holding off Cairney well before taking it to the byline.
His cross ends up falling to Fernandes on the far side, and he cuts inside to lose Castagne before curling a shot on goal. Leno saves it but can’t hold onto the ball and spills it straight to Maguire’s feet, leaving him to volley it into the net.
Fulham have their lead back late on! Maguire heads it straight to Traore, who knows he has the beating of the defender in a foot race. He surges to the edge of the D before squaring it to Iwobi to his left.
He coolly touches it around Dalot before slotting his low shot into the bottom-left corner, with Onana static on his line. 2-1 Fullham.
