Fulham secured a 2-1 victory over Manchester United with Alex Iwobi scoring the winning goal in the 97th minute, following Harry Maguire’s equalizer for Erik ten Hag’s team.

In a thrilling Premier League clash at Old Trafford, Alex Iwobi emerged as the hero for Fulham, delivering a stunning 97th-minute winner to end Manchester United’s unbeaten run in 2024.

The feisty encounter saw the Londoners secure a well-deserved victory, although it appeared to have slipped away in the dying minutes. Harry Maguire’s poacher’s finish in the 89th minute seemed to have salvaged a point for The Red Devils, who had been second-best for much of the game.

However, Fulham had taken a deserved lead with 25 minutes remaining when Calvin Bassey capitalized on a loose ball from a corner and powered it into the net. But it was Iwobi who ultimately stole the show, as he latched onto Adama Traore’s perfectly weighted pass and calmly fired past Andre Onana to secure a famous win for the Cottagers.

Just moments before his equalizer, Maguire had missed a header that looked like it would be enough to preserve United’s unbeaten streak, but Iwobi had other plans. Erik ten Hag’s side struggled in the absence of the prolific Rasmus Hojlund, who will also be sidelined for the upcoming Manchester derby due to injury.

On the other hand, Marco Silva’s gamble paid off as he made six changes to his starting lineup, proving his tactical acumen in securing this crucial victory.
