We were heartened to see both Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi poised themselves in Fulham’s starting XI, [reinforcing](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/player-profiles/asisat-oshoalas-move-to-bay-fc-financial-sporting-view/) the faith the club places in its Nigerian talents. Bassey’s full-match display offered both solidity in defence and attacking intent qualities that reflect why he was deservedly named Player of the Season. +
+
Iwobi, likewise, showcased creative vision and influence in midfield, offering glimpses of his enduring technical class before making way in the second half. +
+
That stoppage-time equaliser from Rodrigo Muniz restored Fulham’s pride and points bringing to life the notion that resilience and never-say-die spirit remain at the heart of this team. It was a moment that reminded us: championships are not just won by moments of brilliance, but by collective heart. +
+
We sense that with Bassey and Iwobi anchoring the squad, Continuity and ambition may well drive Fulham beyond mere survival this season—indeed, their contributions may prove foundational to bigger ambitions. +
