Iwobi, Bassey Set For Premier League Opener At Old Trafford

The new English Premier League season starts today and two Super Eagles stars will be involved in the first match of the season.

Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey will be part of the action as Fulham visit Old Trafford as they look to kick start the season on a positive note.

The Super Eagles duo were involved in Fulham’s famous victory over the Red Devils last season at Old Trafford.

Alex Iwobi’s 97th mimute winner secured all three points for Marco Silva’s side as they earned a 2-1 win.

Calvin Bassey had initially given the Fulham the lead in the 65th minute from a rebound after the ball fell to him in the box.

Harry Maguire’s 89th mimute equalizer brought hope to the home side but Iwobi dashed it 8 minute later from a blistering counter-attack as he put the ball beyond the reach of a helpless Andre Onana.

Manchester United will have revenge on their mind as they play in frontbof their home fans tonight for the first time in three months.

Fulham on the other hand, with the help of Iwobi and Bassey will look to replicate or at least get a point of a new look Erik Ten Hag Manchester United.
