The Nigerian colour was on full show as Fulham defender Calvin Bassey and midfielder Alex Iwobi starred in a dramatic win against Manchester United.

The duo were on the scoresheet to earn their side, Fulham, all three points at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Bassey put his side ahead in the 65th minute, scoring his first goal in the English Premier League. Manchester United came back through Harry Maguire’s goal in the 89th minute.
