Iwobi’s extra time goal leads Fulham to a 2-1 win vs. Man Utd

The Red Devils’ 4-clash triumphing run in the Premier League ended in the worst way possible as they were defeated 2-1 by Fulham, as the London side ended their 18-game winless run vs. Manchester United and earned their 1^st win at Old Trafford since 2003.

The London team played better in the 1^st half as Alex Iwobi wasted 2 perfect chances to secure the lead for Fulham.

Fulham have won a game against Manchester United in any competition for the first time since December 2009:

However, Fulham took the lead in the 65^th minute when Calvin Bassey scored after Timothy Castagne’s assist. Despite that, it seemed that Man United would not lose the match as Harry Maguire scored a rebound in the 89^th minute.

The referee gave 9 minutes of extra time, and Man United seemed like the team that could score. Still, after a counterattack, Adama Traore, with his speed, provided a perfect pass to Alex Iwobi as the Nigerian redeemed himself for the missed chances in the 1^st 45 minutes of the clash and scored the winning goal at Old Trafford.

Fulham hadn’t won away in the league since the opening day of the season.
