Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi prevailed in the battle of Nigerian clash yesterday with Fulham getting a nervy win against Ola Aina and Taiwo Awoniyi's Nottingham at the City ground, Nigeriasoccernet.com writes.
Hosting the Cottagers at the back of a four goal thriller against Brighton where both sides shared the spoil, Nottingham who are undefeated in the EPL so far when to a 0-1 loss all thanks to Raul Jimenez spot kick.
Iwobi and Bassey who remain a vital figure of Marco Silva's resilient side displayed grits and determination as they looked the more better side in the away game.
Taiwo Awoniyi who is still in search of his first goal came close in the early stages of the first half but his acrobatic effort sailed over the cross bar.
Ola Aina's ball then found the head of Chris Wood but it wouldn't stand despite crossing the line after he was caught offside.
Fulham got their breakthrough when they were awarded a penalty 51st minute and that was enough for them to get the maximum three points.
