AFCON 2025
Super Eagles trio at Fulham, Samuel Chukwueze, Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey are out of the FA Cup.
The Cottagers competed in the fifth round against Southampton for a place in the last eight but lost in front of their home fans.
Samuel Chukwueze started the tie and was one for the entire duration of the match but had an anonymous performance.
Alexander Iwobi came on in the second half as Marco Silva sought to inject more creative outlets in the final third.
However, it was the Saints who stunned fans at Craven Cottage to seal a late win via the penalty spot in the 90th minute.
Joachim Andersen was the culprit as he brought down a player in the box which resulted into a spot kick.
Ross Stewart stepped up powered the ball into the left corner. Benjamin Lacomte had a finger tip on the ball before making its way into the net.
Meanwhile, Calvin Bassey was an unused substitute as the Saints sealed extended their unbeaten run to 10 matches in all competitions.
