In a dramatic turn of events, Fulham secured a historic 2-1 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, with Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi proving to be the heroes for the visitors. This unexpected defeat dealt a blow to United’s Champions League hopes, leaving them eight points adrift of Aston Villa in fourth place.
The completion of Jim Ratcliffe’s minority stake in United earlier in the week had generated optimism among fans, but Fulham dominated the match, exposing the challenges that lie ahead for the Red Devils on and off the field. Rodrigo Muniz’s first-half attempt that hit the post hinted at Fulham’s threat, and they capitalized on their opportunities in the second half.

Calvin Bassey broke the deadlock for Fulham with a powerful strike from a corner, marking his first goal for the Cottagers. United, however, seemed to salvage a point when Harry Maguire tapped in a rebound after Bernd Leno spilled Bruno Fernandes’ effort. Yet, Fulham had one more twist in store.
Adama Traore showcased his speed, leaving Maguire behind, and set up Alex Iwobi, whose 97th-minute curler found the back of the net, sealing Fulham’s first away win since the opening day of the season.
