Fulham defender Calvin Bassey expressed his frustration after the Cottagers suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Manchester United at Craven Cottage.

Speaking with TNT Sports, Bassey shared his disappointment, emphasizing that Fulham deserved a better result.

“We controlled the game and had plenty of chances, but it just wasn’t our day,” the Nigerian international said. “Football sometimes needs a bit of luck, and today, it didn’t go our way.”

Fulham’s defence kept United at bay for most of the match, with Bassey noting that the Red Devils didn’t pose much of a threat.

“They didn’t create too much to trouble us, but we know the quality they have. We had enough opportunities, but maybe we could have been sharper in the final moments,” he added.
