Fulham manager Marco Silva has heaped plaudits on Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey for their positive impact in the Whites away win against Manchester United on Saturday.
The Nigerian duo were both on target in Fulham’s 2-1 win at the Old Trafford.
It was the London club’s first win over Manchester United since 2003.
Bassey’s opener was cancelled out by Harry Maguire one minute from regulation time.
Iwobi then fired home the winning goal deep into stoppage time.

“The two players [Bassey and Iwobi] that were at the Africa Cup [of Nations]. And that we miss them,” Silva told BeINSports after the game.
“They were decisive in terms of the goals. It just shows how they are important for us in the way I want to play, in our way.
“It is really nice to see both scoring goals and helping us to win.”
Bassey’s goal was his first in the Premier League for Fulham.
Iwobi on the other hand has scored four times in 18 league outings for the Cottagers.
