Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey featured for Fulham as Manchester United secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Craven Cottage in the Premier League.
Iwobi continued his impressive campaign with another energetic display, while defender Bassey completed another solid outing at the heart of Fulham’s defence. Softfootball gathered that despite Fulham matching United for long periods, Ruben Amorim’s side eventually found the breakthrough late in the contest.
The decisive goal arrived with just 12 minutes remaining when Lisandro Martinez’s effort from outside the penalty area took a significant deflection off Sasa Lukic before looping over goalkeeper Bernd Leno and into the net.
The victory extended Manchester United’s impressive league record at Craven Cottage, where they have remained unbeaten since December 2009.
Iwobi has now registered seven goals and three assists in the Premier League this season, while Bassey continues to establish himself as one of Fulham’s most dependable defenders despite the disappointing result.
