However, Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey’s partner for the Nigeria national team, stole the three points deep into injury time when he gave
the goalkeeper the look and finished coolly into the near corner. With Manchester United in sixth place and Fulham now eight points
behind Aston Villa in fourth place and a Champions League spot, the outcome moves Fulham up to 12th in the Premier League
