Fulham defender Calvin Bassey attributes their stunning 2-1 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford to superior character.
This win marks a historic moment for the Cottagers, ending their 15-year drought at the iconic stadium and breaking a streak of 11 winless away games in the Premier League.
Bassey, who netted the opening goal (his first for the club), praised the team’s determination and commitment, highlighting their desire to win as a crucial factor.
He acknowledged Manchester United’s strength but emphasized Fulham’s greater determination, which ultimately translated to their impressive performance on the pitch.
“We simply weren’t here to just show up,” Bassey declared. “We knew we had to fight for every inch of the field, and I believe we displayed more hunger and desire today.
That was evident in the way we played.”
