After the remarkable performance from Alex Iwobi that helped secure an important victory for Fulham, Super Eagles' Calvin Bassey couldn't contain his pride for his teammate.

Iwobi's first goal came just four minutes into the match, capitalising on a mistake made by Brighton's goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen.

With the stadium buzzing, Iwobi slid the ball into an empty net, setting the tone for what would be an exhilarating evening at Craven Cottage.

Despite a spirited equaliser from Brighton's Carlos Baleba, who struck a stunning goal in the second half, Iwobi's resilience shone through as he added another goal late in the match, sealing Fulham's triumph.

Following the game, Bassey took to Instagram to celebrate Iwobi’s remarkable display.

In a heartfelt shoutout, he simply wrote, “My boy,” expressing his admiration for Iwobi’s contributions on the pitch.

He also humorously added, “Sanders go explain tire,” referencing a playful moment captured in one of the post-match photos where teammate Sanders was seen whispering to Iwobi.

This light-hearted banter reflects the Nigerian bond between the players and their shared experiences as international and club teammates.

Iwobi’s performance not only highlighted his growing importance to Fulham but also marked a personal milestone, bringing his season tally to five goals and three assists.

Up next for Bassey and his close friend Iwobi is another match at home, this time against the in-form Arsenal, the latter’s former club.

Bolstered by the support of teammates like Bassey who recognize his hard work and talent, the Super Eagles playmaker will look to continue his fine form against the club that made him.
