“There’s no easy game”- Calvin Bassey targets win at Brighton after orchestrating Manchester United’s downfall

Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has ruled out complacency ahead of Fulham’s Premier League game against Brighton on Saturday, Soccernet.ng reports.

Fulham pulled off one of the biggest wins in their history last weekend, when they defeated Manchester United in the round of 16 of the English FA Cup.

The game ended 1-1 in normal time and dragged into a penalty shoot-out. Calvin Bassey was the star of the show as he scored Fulham’s solitary goal and produced a brilliant defensive performance.

However, Fulham have a big game against Brighton at the American Express Stadium this weekend. And ahead of the fixture, Bassey has stated that he and his teammates will leave no room complacency.

“You know how good Brighton are, there’s no easy game in this league,” Bassey told Fulham TV.

“They are a team with a lot of quality so we are gonna have to make sure we are locked in for that one. We’ve had our days to celebrate, now its back to work and make sure we are focused on the game on Saturday.”

The game is important for Fulham, as a win could take them as high as 6th if other results go their way. As it stands, Fulham are just five points away from Champions League football and they can make it eventually.

The Cottagers have already claimed the scalp of many big teams in the English top-flight. A winning run in this home stretch would surely do them a lot of good.
