London, UK – E be like say wetin dem call “African magic” don turn to “Swedish blunder” for Craven Cottage, as Fulham finally manage collect dem first Premier League win dis season with one late own goal from Leeds‘ Gabriel Gudmundsson.
Di match no get plenty action until we reach extra time. Na for di fourth minute wey dis drama happen. Gudmundsson, wey don dey play left-back since last year, accidentally use head clearance send ball enter back of net. E be like say im wan show dem say na him sabi header pass all di strikers!
Fulham manager Marco Silva go dey thank his stars, because Fulham no really shine for di first half – both teams dey waka round like chickens wey no sabi why dem dey fight. Leeds don try wey plenty chances, but na dia striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin still dey wonder how he head zigzag straight to di hands of Bernd Leno rather than di back of di net.
Sean Longstaff too don try to break di deadlock with one shot wey hit di top of di crossbar. But Fulham just dey look dem like say dem no suppose get any shot until di 58th minute. Na serious ‘man-who-just-woke-up’ level!
Midway through di second half, Fulham begin feel di match small small. Di new signing Kevin, wey dem buy just before di deadline, almost turn himself into hero when im shot kink over di bar after im receive plenty good pass. But wetin man go do? E no fit blame Gudmundsson for di final drama.
Leeds manager Daniel Farke try change di game by swapping three of his forward line. Wilfried Gnonto and friends dey there dey juggle but all dem juggling just dey fall flat. Arsenal im club na dem dey cause di problem as dem dey fit score if dem fit buy dem chance. As for Leeds? Dem don stretch dia run of no-goals from open play to four league games. Na wah!
Fulham rise go 10th position now, just dey overtake Leeds wey dey hold 14th spot. But I no sure wetin dem go do with wolves next week. Di way dem dey play right now, na dem go need lucky charms!
But for Gudmundsson, my guy no deserve di blame. E joint most crosses for di game, win plenty duels and still manage to make two tackles. How person go dey do all dis fine things and still spoil di party? Just like how person fit drink palm wine and still dey dance on top table. Na wah!
Next week, Fulham go face Brentford as Leeds dey plan to go meet Wolves. Make we just dey watch di drama unfold for di Premier League. Makin e no be carry-over issue for dem. Wetin una fit talk? Football dey sweet pass family wahala sometimes!
