Iwobi & Bassey Dazzle in 2-0 Win but Fulham Miss Europe by One Point
Fulham ended the Premier League season with a 2-0 victory over Newcastle at Craven Cottage. Issa Diop opened the scoring with a powerful header, and captain Tom Cairney sealed the win with a trademark left-footed curler. Alex Iwobi impressed with his creativity while Calvin Bassey marshalled the defence to keep a clean sheet. Despite the commanding performance from their Super Eagles trio, Marco Silva’s side fell agonisingly short of European qualification. Fulham finished the campaign just one point outside the top seven after dominating on the final day. The focus now shifts to international duty, as Iwobi and Bassey join the Super Eagles squad for June friendlies against Poland and Portugal. Representing Nigeria offers the perfect chance to bounce back from the season’s heartbreak.
