Fulham: Calvin Bassey explains why Manchester United goal should have been disallowed | OneFootball

Fulham defender feels the officials were wrong not to rule out Man Utd’s goal in 1-1 draw

Calvin Bassey believes that Manchester United's goal against Fulham should not have stood.

Fulham came from behind to secure a 1-1 draw in their Premier League contest at Craven Cottage after substitute Emile Smith Rowe equalised with his very first touch.

There were some protests by Fulham's players towards referee Chris Kavanagh after the goal, with some of the belief that Yoro had unfairly pushed Bassey in the back, thus stopping the defender from winning the aerial duel.

The goal was given, though it did not prove decisive as the hosts rescued a point to maintain their unbeaten start to the new Premier League season.

However, Bassey, who was penalised for a foul on Mason Mount in the first-half which led to a penalty that was missed by Bruno Fernandes, disagreed with the decision to let Man Utd's goal stand.

He said: "It is enough for me to not be able to win the ball and it is an advantage to him. It should have been disallowed.

"When the referee looks back at I think they will be disappointed. I cannot say too much, otherwise I will get a fine!

"It is a foul. When you go up to a jump, any little touch can put you off.

"He wasn't trying to speak to me - he was trying to speak to my captain.

"What do you want me to do? Jump on the floor. It is enough for me to not be able to win the ball."
