Iwobi Critiques Referee After Foden's Challenge on Bassey

In a recent Premier League match where Fulham faced Manchester City, Alex Iwobi, a midfielder for Fulham, commented on a challenge made by Manchester City star Phil Foden on Nigerian defender Calvin Bassey. The incident occurred during the second half of the match, which ended in a 3-0 defeat for Fulham at the Etihad Stadium.

Iwobi expressed that while he respects Foden as a player, he was unhappy with referee Paul Tierney's decision to issue only a yellow card for the challenge instead of a red card. He noted that many people online were calling for a red card after witnessing the challenge.

Iwobi shared his thoughts during a podcast, stating, "Don’t get me wrong, Phil Foden is a big baller," but he felt the challenge was excessive and deserved a harsher penalty.
