One-time Ballon Dor Winner Faults Calvin Bassey For Janelts Goal Despite Fulham Win

Former England and Real Madrid forward, Michael Owen, has revealed that Brentfords opening goal against Fulham last night was due to an error from Super Eagles defender, Calvin Bassey, Soccernet.ng reports.

Fulham welcomed Brentford to the Craven Cottage last night to wrap up Matchday ten of the English Premier League.

Super Eagles duo, Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi made their tenth consecutive Premier League start for the Fulham, but it was Emile Smith Rowe and Raul Jimenez who had their efforts thwarted consecutively by the Brentford defence in the opening twenty minutes.

Four minutes later, the away side scored. Calvin Basseys misplaced pass led to a quick exchange of passes between the Brentford players before Norgaard found Vitaly Janelt in space. The German midfielder shot from about twenty-five yards out, beyond Bernd Leno to give Thomas Franks side the lead, and Owen blamed Bassey.

Fulham had the last laugh on the night. Welsh midfielder, Harry Wilson, equalised in the 92nd minute, flicking on a cross from Adams traore, beyond the reach of Mark Flekken.
