Iwobi late show earns Fulham rare win at Old Trafford

MANCHESTER, England :Alex Iwobi scored deep in stoppage time as Fulham shocked a sub-par Manchester United 2-1 in the Premier League on Saturday, the London side's first win at Old Trafford since 2003 and only their second since 1963.

United, who lost for the first time in six league matches, are sixth in the table on 44 points, eight behind fourth-placed Aston Villa. Fulham are 12th on 32 points.

"I'm over the moon right now to come back into the team and get the win here - there is no better feeling," Iwobi said. "We feel we performed really well and have been performing really well recently, it is just about getting the results."

Fulham struck first in the 65th minute, when Calvin Bassey fired his own rebound into the roof of the net for his first goal for the Cottagers.

The home team looked set to salvage a point when Harry Maguire equalised in the 89th minute with a half volley from inside the penalty area after the ball came off keeper Bernd Leno.

But Iwobi, who earlier squandered two good chances, swept a shot past Andre Onana into the bottom corner in the 97th minute following a counter-attack to leave United fans shell-shocked.

"It is a big win for us," Fulham manager Marco Silva told the BBC. "A great feeling for our fans, who were loud from the first to the last whistle. The players deserved it, clearly the best team won the game.

"We were the team which played better, created more chances and had more control of the game," he added. "It is a fantastic feeling for us to come here and win against a side in a good run of form."

Silva joined his players to celebrate in front of the delirious visiting fans after the final whistle.

United were missing injured striker Rasmus Hojlund, who scored in their six previous
