Manchester United 1-2 Nigeria: Reactions as Iwobi and Bassey lead Fulham to victory

.
Alex Iwobi's goal in injury time earned Fulham its only Old Trafford victory since 1963 against Manchester United on Saturday, February 24, 2024.


United's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League were severely damaged four days after new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe declared that the team would try to unseat Manchester City and Liverpool from their dominant positions in the English game.


Nigerian defender Calvin Bassey put Fulham in front but Harry Maguire appeared to have salvaged a point for the team in the very last minute of normal time.

However, Iwobi had the last word well into stoppage time with a well taken goal to give Fulham all three points.


Following the result of the game, Super Eagles of Nigeria stars Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey rose to the top of the trends.

Iwobi and Bassey were key players as the Super Eagles of Nigeria got to the final of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).


Nigerians had mixed reactions to the goals for Fulham against Manchester United.
