Iwobi and Bassey Shine as Fulham Beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge
Super Eagles stars Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey played key roles as Fulham secured a historic 2-1 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, ending the Blues’ nine-match unbeaten run in the Premier League.
Iwobi was lively throughout the match, helping Fulham control the midfield and create chances. His link-up play and work rate were crucial as Fulham overturned a first-half deficit to claim victory.
Calvin Bassey was a rock at the back for Fulham, putting in a commanding performance to frustrate Chelsea’s attackers. His composure and physical presence helped the Cottagers hold on for their first-ever Premier League win at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea took the lead in the 16th minute when Cole Palmer scored a brilliant solo goal, skipping past defenders and slotting the ball into the bottom corner.
Fulham responded in the second half, with substitute Harry Wilson equalising in the 82nd minute after Timothy Castagne’s header set him up at the back post.
The visitors completed their comeback in stoppage time when Rodrigo Muniz finished a slick team move, sealing a famous win for Marco Silva’s side.
The victory extended Fulham’s unbeaten streak to six matches, showcasing their strong form in the league. Meanwhile, Chelsea have now gone two games without a win, leaving Enzo Maresca’s side searching for answers.
Fulham’s Nigerian duo, Iwobi and Bassey, were standout performers, helping their team achieve a memorable result in west London.
