Late Iwobi strike ends Manchester United resurgence

Fulham's Calvin Bassey celebrates with teammates.

ALEX Iwobi’s winner, six minutes into stoppage time, ended Manchester United’s recent resurgence and reminded manager Erik ten Hag how much he will miss the three weeks he will be without injured Rasmus Hojlund.

The winger, guilty of some early misses, made no mistake this time, with a clinical finish into the bottom corner.
