Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey emerged as Fulham’s hero, scoring the decisive goal in their 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest at Craven Cottage.
The 25-year-old centre-back rose to the occasion in the 62nd minute, heading in a Raul Jimenez corner to put Fulham ahead and secure all three points. It was Bassey’s first Premier League goal of the season, marking a memorable moment in his 24th appearance for the club.
Not just a defensive rock, Bassey demonstrated his offensive prowess by reacting swiftly to Jimenez’s header, nodding the ball past Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels. The goal sparked wild celebrations among the home fans as Fulham regained the lead.
But Bassey’s contribution didn’t stop there. He put in a solid defensive shift, making crucial interceptions and aerial clearances to prevent any late Forest threats. His all-around performance highlighted his growing importance to Marco Silva’s squad.
With performances like these, Bassey is proving to be an indispensable asset for Fulham and solidifying his reputation as a key player in the Premier League.
