Nigeria’s Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey pulled off commendable performances as Fulham came from a goal down to throunce Burnley 3-1 at Craven Cottage on Saturday night.

The first half had offered little in terms of clear-cut chances, though Fulham showed flashes of attacking intent.

Alex Iwobi, on the other hand, was lively in midfield, linking play effectively and driving his side forward.

Despite their efforts, it was Wilson who remained Fulham’s most persistent threat, testing Martin Dubravka on several occasions from distance, but a goalless interval felt a fair reflection of proceedings.
