Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi were on target as Fulham defeated Manchester United 2-1 in the English top-flight game played on Saturday at Old Trafford \u2013 with Harry Maguire getting the lone strike for the hosts.<\/p>\n

The Super Eagles fans have capitalised on the opportunity to taunt Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana, bragging that Nigeria will always beat the Indomitable Lions.<\/p>\n

However, some supporters feel Iwobi and Bassey should have helped Nigeria win the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations as opposed to scoring in a league game.<\/p>\n

Below are some reactions<\/strong><\/p>\n

I remember when Ten Hag said \u2018We are now playing every game as final\u2019 and the rest is history \u2013 Mike Misheck Mike<\/p>\n

A late defeat at Old Trafford. That was a dangerous defeat for Erik ten Hag. We didn\u2019t have a clue on the pitch for the whole game \u2013 Dennis Wendo<\/p>\n

Cameron will always be under Nigeria when it comes to football be it on African soil or Europe. Well done guys \u2013 Aliyu Salihu<\/p>\n

Fulham were the better side from the start, Iwobi had a good game and would\u2019ve had a hattrick if he had taken his chances \u2013 Eugene Jnr<\/p>\n

Onana went to eliminate Cameroon early enough so that he could rush back and finish Manchester United completely \u2013 Bomario Tam London<\/p>\n

Iwobi and Bassey scored goals they couldn\u2019t score in the Afcon final when the Super Eagles needed it most \u2013 Linus Mary Samuel<\/p>\n

Sweet revenge, I remember Bruno Fernandes winning it for Manchester United in stoppage time in the first leg, what goes around comes around \u2013 David Bez<\/p>\n

Onana escaped Nigeria in Ivory Coast. Calvin Bassey and Iwobi just hunted him to Manchester United to give him his own share of the two goals he escaped \u2013 Wisdom Ezrah<\/p>\n

Iwobi and Bassey saw Onana and thought they were playing against Cameroon \u2013 Anselem Ekene<\/p>\n

Iwobi and Bassey made sure Manchester United paid for their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations \u2013 Dan Ifeanyi<\/p>\n
