Calvin Bassey, Super Eagles defender, is looking forward to another win ahead of Fulham's Premier League match against Brighton on Saturday.

Last weekend, Fulham achieved a historic victory by defeating Manchester United in the round of 16 of the English FA Cup.

Calvin Bassey delivered a standout performance, scoring Fulham's only goal, with the match ending in a 1-1 draw and the Cottagers winning on penalty shootout.

Fulham have now turned their attention to their Premier League match this weekend against Brighton at the American Express Stadium.
