Alex Iwobi's dramatic stoppage-time winner gives Fulham a rare 2-1 win at Manchester United, puncturing United's optimism and ambitions.

In a thrilling Premier League match on Saturday, Alex Iwobi scored a stunning stoppage-time goal to secure a 2-1 victory for Fulham against Manchester United. The dramatic finish came just moments after Harry Maguire had seemingly salvaged a point for United with a late goal.

Calvin Bassey had opened the scoring for Fulham in the 65th minute, only for Maguire to equalize in the 89th minute. However, Iwobi's late heroics secured Fulham's first win at Old Trafford since 2003.

The result was a well-deserved victory for Fulham, who outperformed United for much of the game. Despite missing key player Joao Palhinha due to suspension, Fulham dominated the match and created several scoring opportunities.

United struggled to find their rhythm, with Fulham goalkeeper Andre Onana making crucial saves to deny the home side. Meanwhile, Fulham's attack, led by Iwobi and Bassey, posed a constant threat to United's defense.

Even after United made tactical substitutions to increase their energy levels, Fulham continued to dictate the pace of the game. Their persistence paid off when Bassey scored a stunning goal from a set-piece, giving Fulham a well-deserved lead.

Although United rallied late in the game, it was Iwobi who had the final say, securing a dramatic victory for Fulham. The result punctured some of the optimism surrounding United following a recent partial takeover, highlighting the work that lies ahead for the team to compete with the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool.

Overall, Fulham's victory was a testament to their resilience and determination, and a reminder of the unpredictable nature of football. It was a thrilling match that showcased the excitement and drama of the Premier League.
