Super Eagles stars Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey were on the losing side once again as struggling Fulham suffered a 2-1 defeat at Newcastle United in the Premier League at St. james’ Park on Saturday.
A Bruno Guimaraes late strike subjected Fulham to their fourth consecutive defeat.
While Bassey was on for 90 minutes, Iwobi was taken off in the 90th minute.
Heading into the encounter Fulham was hoping to halt their run of three straight League defeats.
But 18 minutes into the contest the London club found themselves behind following a Jacob Murphy goal.
Fulham came back into the second half with much purpose and got their reward on 56 minutes thanks to Lukic.
When it seems Fulham had done enough to secure a point Guimaraes struck in the 90th minute to hand the Magpies all the three points.
Fulham are now in 16th place on eight points, just three points away from the relegation spot while Newcastle, they move up to 11th and now have 12 points.
