Two Fulham stars hailed after win over Man Utd

Fulham manager Marco Silva has applauded Nigerian footballer Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey after his side’s Premier League 2-1 win over Manchester United on Saturday.

Silva in a post-match statement said Bassey and Iwobi are important to Fulham.

He stated that their goals were decisive for the visitors against the Red Devils.

The goals by the Fulham stars at Old Trafford gave Silva’s men all three points against the hosts.

“The two players [Bassey and Iwobi] that were at the Africa Cup [of Nations]. And that we miss them,” Silva told BeINSports after the game.

“They were decisive in terms of the goals. It just shows how they are important for us in the way I want to play, in our way.

“It is really nice to see both scoring goals and helping us to win.”

Meanwhile, Man Utd defender Harry Maguire managed to score a goal for the Red Devils.
