The Nigeria Midfielder, Alex Iwobi late winner goal secured victory for Fulham Against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Fulham started better at Old Trafford , with speed, with Alex Iwobi and Rodrigo Muniz creating danger. Muniz was the protagonist of a header to which André Onana , United goalkeeper, responded with a great save.
Then United went more and also created danger. Diogo Dalot hit the post. Of course, shortly after, Muniz also shot the post. It was a first half with alternatives and with good rhythm, which ended without goals.
Manchester United woke up , attacking intensely, knowing that their good streak could end. But he attacked with more heart than head, without a determined plan. Until Harry Maguire came to United ‘s rescue in the 89th minute. After a cross from Bruno Fernandes, Bernd Leno , Fulham ‘s goalkeeper , lost the ball and there, opportunistic, was Maguire to put the ball into the back of the goal.
His compatriot Calvin Bassey had given Fulham the lead in the 65th minute before Harry Maguire’s near-post effort levelled the scores one minute before the 90-minute mark.
But Iwobi, fresh off the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) silenced the home crowd seven minutes into added time.
