Eagles stars Iwobi and Bassey help Fulham destroy Ange-ball Spurs

Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi continued their brilliant post-AFCON form after playing starring roles in Fulham's heavy win against Tottenham.

Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey continued their sparkling post-AFCON form as the Super Eagles duo played starring roles in Fulham's commanding 3-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

Marco Silva's rampant Cottagers proved too strong for their London rivals at Craven Cottage, with Rodrigo Muniz's brace and a strike from Sasa Lukic sealing an impressive three points.

Bassey and Iwobi shine in Fulham rout

But it was the performances of Iwobi and Bassey that will have most pleased the Nigerian faithful watching on.

Playmaker Iwobi was at the heart of Fulham's attacking verve, creating four chances, making four key passes and winning four recoveries during an industrious 82-minute display before being substituted.

The 27-year-old has been rejuvenated since his exploits at the Africa Cup of Nations, cementing his place as one of the Premier League's most creative forces.

At the back, the ever-impressive Bassey underlined his quality with another assured showing at left-back.

Not only did he lay on the assist for Lukic's third goal, but the Nigerian international also struck the woodwork himself as he continued pushing for attacking returns.

Bassey's rock-solid defensive contributions also helped Silva's side keep yet another clean sheet as they tightened their grip in midtable.

The duo's eye-catching displays only further highlight their outstanding status as two of Nigerian football's elite performers on the global stage right now.

If Iwobi and Bassey can maintain these career-best levels, they look set to be talismanic figures for the Super Eagles in their upcoming AFCON and World Cup qualifying campaigns.
