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.

Former England forward Gary Lineker believes Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes this season rest heavily on new signing Viktor Gyokeres making an instant impact. The Gunners brought in the 27-year-old striker from Sporting CP in a deal worth up to £63 million after his stunning tally of 54 goals in 52 matches last season.

Speaking on The Rest Is Football podcast, Lineker said Gyokeres needs to deliver similar numbers if Arsenal are to push for the title again. “A lot will depend on how Gyokeres performs,” he noted.

“He scored a great goal in pre-season, but we all know pre-season doesn’t count for much, except for strikers, where it helps build confidence. He’ll get plenty of service, so if he settles quickly, they could go very close again.”

Super Eagles B coach, Eric Chelle, has opened up on why his side suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat to Sudan in their 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) clash on Tuesday.

The loss, which followed a 1-0 defeat to Senegal in their opening match, ended Nigeria’s hopes in the tournament. Sudan’s goals came through an own goal by Leonard Ngenge, a strike from Walieldin Khedr, and a brace from Abdel Raouf.

Reflecting on the game, Chelle admitted that his players made too many costly errors, especially after the break. “We made too many mistakes and let the game slip away in the second half,” he said. “Four goals, four mistakes. It’s been the same story in both games against Senegal and Sudan.”
